I still have one - or most of one - that a friend of the family gave me after he bought it and couldn't figure it out and bought a ZX Spectrum instead. Sadly the vacuum-formed plastic case went all crumbly.
I'd love to build a homebrew one.
- peteri 4y agoSadly you've missed a recent opportunity with the Minstrel Forth https://www.thefuturewas8bit.com/shop/tynemouth-products/minstrel4th.html https://www.thefuturewas8bit.com/shop/tynemouth-products/min... a modern clone of the original. There is a bit of cheating by having a micro controller do the video timing along with a dual port RAM for the video, but I'm happy enough with that. Alternatively you could go with Grant Searles schematic http://www.jupiter-ace.co.uk/hardware_diy_ace.html http://www.jupiter-ace.co.uk/hardware_diy_ace.html
