In 1978 I built a single board computer with a 6800 uP and a 6845 to drive the display. Made a keyboard for it, and it worked.
Unfortunately, in my many moves it has disappeared, though I still have the schematics for it.
Somehow I missed the boat on being a billionaire!
- rigonkulous 6mo agoOh, I have so many of my own experiences to tell in this regard, but .. I'm a little curious .. if you still have the schematics, why not build it again and pick up where you left off? (Disclaimer: I speak as one who has kept almost every computer I've ever hacked on since 1978...)
- WalterBright 6mo agoI could, but the list of projects I want to do is very looooonnnnggggg and reconstructing that machine would be nice to show off, but of no utility. I also no longer have the software I wrote for it, nor the keyboard or monitor. It's all gone. My other regret is I gave away my H11 computer. Sigh.
- rigonkulous 6mo agoOh, well at least scan your schematics in and put 'em on a repo somewhere! That might be inspiring to someone, you never know ..
- WalterBright 6mo agoYou might be right! It would be better if I'd just taken a photo of it. There is a photo of my H11 on my twitter profile.
