Novasaur CP/M TTL Retrocomputer

- musicale 5y agoTerrific. Before the Maker Faire died some of the favorite things I saw there were homebrew CPU projects like the Magic-1 and BMOW TTL CPUs, and the MOnSter 6502 "dis-aggregated" CPU board with LEDs on the data lines. One thing I liked was that many homebrew CPU projects also included writing their own assembler, OS, and language system (perhaps BASIC.) Making it 8080 compatible to run CP/M is a nice idea though, as it unlocks a ton of software like WordStar (favored by George RR Martin) - though sadly not Turbo Pascal (favored by HN) since it apparently requires a Z80. Magic-1 can apparently run lcc and Minix and connect to the internet (!)
