With 1 Megahertz clock speed it really kicks a.ss.

Previously I made a TRS80 from just the schematics as well as a Microbee just from the circuit diagrams.
Can look at a page of Hexadecimal numbers and tell what it is doing.

That is sick, I know.

All in my spare time when I had a job.


My second computer was a SWTPC, which I think was older, but I bought it second hand out of curiosity. Then I got married, and wasn't allowed a computer till I got rid of the wife.
