That's a nice machine to see working. I remember the magazines and the ads for these and many others around that time, but pre-teen me couldn't afford any of them. I was stuck with playing around with TTL and dreaming of my own computer for long enough that it made no sense to build a design like this.
You can build one now, not too late 😉
@@8-bitbitsa821 You're right of course. I could. I'd probably enjoy it if I did. I also ought to get around to finishing the 6803 based SBC that I started designing in the mid-80s. But what would I actually do with these things on completion except watch them collect dust ?
I had a pretty large collection of retro computers up until 20 years ago when I sold or gave away most of them before emigrating. Sometimes I think it'd be fun to still have a TRS-80 model 1, for instance, but while some of these things helped me with learning about computers before I had a career in software, or were used as part of my work, they're not really of much use now.
Tinkering is still fun, though, so I use quite a lot of Arduinos (mostly Nanos) these days to control stuff around the house, switching loads to make best use of solar power, controlling a ventilation system etc. This is where 8 bit computing is for me now. They only cost a couple of $ each and it's so trivially easy to program those little machines to do stand-alone useful stuff for you. I also have dev kits for 8051s and RL78s and other stuff, but the Arduino is just too easy to play with and get a result.
Occasionally I get to incorporate chips with 1970s date codes that I bought as a kid into the new Arduino projects. That amuses me.
@@DavidHembrow Hey David…
Most of the fun is in the journey ;-)

Ace! Hope to see more of this interesting machine!
More to come!
Super cool, I love a micro with a build in machine monitor 😁 Never heard of this machine before so thanks for sharing it. Oh and Snorkers would be proud of your improvements to the BASIC Fruit Machine game 😊
Those times when you need to spread thermal paste with a brush lol
Very interesting machine, keep it up! :)
Glad you got it all up and running 😉👍🏻
Mine has the same bit error in the graphic ROM, I’ll get around to programming another sometime 👍🏻
Piece of history restored.
Great episode - love it - next step getting the tape interface tuned and running?
Yes I think so after a good clean up. I wonder if an SD card interface would be on the cards..
Very interesting computer HLD, these tutorials are interesting cheers.
Nice work old boy!
Ace!🔋

If the graphics chip is anything like to the one used in the TI-99/4 and 4A home computers, it has what is effectively a higher column mode where each character is 6x8 instead of 8x8. So you can define those pixels, but you just can't see them in that mode.
You say 1978 Trans Am and I think Smokey and the Bandit.
