ScreamingAtTheRadio Posted October 29, 2023 Share Posted October 29, 2023 Thanks to everyone who voted for my project, thanks to ABBUC for organizing the contest (and for the prize 🏆) and congratulations to everyone who took the time to submit a hardware or software project for keeping our favorite piece of retro tech alive. I also want to thank Jesse aka XL Freak who designed the key caps. I’ll publish the design files today on my GitHub, and kits will be available at the end of November. Contact me if you want to get on the waiting list. Oh, and I’m also almost done with Decent1200, and you can probably guess what computer that keyboard is for 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

votraxman Posted November 3, 2023 Share Posted November 3, 2023 You're up against the great Mitsumi. A very tall task is ahead of you. I wish you the best! Clicky on the 12/14xx series could be fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pancio Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 Thank you to everyone who voted! It doesn't matter in which project 🙂 I have updated my page with details about DIAGari (AtariUNO). Anyone can build such a prototyping device with Atari. Best Regards, pancio 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
