This website is about retro computer technology from the late 70s and 80s. It is not about genuine commercial computers of that era, but about building with old technology.

If you fancy creating an 8-bit computer or running CP/M, then there are lots of open source projects here to look at. Most have comprehensive documentation and freely available design files. Some are even available as complete kits.

SC691 – My current recommendation, available as a kit
Good value, Z80, RomWBW, SCM, CP/M, SD card storage, 2 serial ports, 11 status LEDs

So why not turn on that soldering iron and build something with less computing power than an optical mouse.
