Just a Quick Spam!

Post by wgoodf »

Attention all retrocomputing enthusiasts!

The RetroChallenge "Winter Warm-up" 2010 is officially slated to run
from January 1st to 31st, 2010.

RetroChallenge is a fairly informal "contest" whose sole aim is to
encourage owners of obsolete systems to do something (anything) with
them.

Projects are self-assigned and can include just about anything, from
programming to hardware hacks; restorations; multimedia... whatever
floats your boat.

RetroChallenge is open to rosy-cheeked noobs and hoary old wizards
alike.

Swing by http://retrochallenge.net for all the details, or visit the
RetroBBS at telnet://bbs.retrochallenge.net :D

Just a quick reply: I am currently building a ZX81-laptop. The first version (32KB ram, 32KB EEPROM, M1-NOT-Logic, AV-output, 7" LCD-Display) could be seen here:

Todo: add a MMC- and/or USB-interface to get rid of the cassette-recorder ;)

But it will not be finished in January, but at the next ZX81 team meeting :D
