From the project
Open Source Hardware for Vintage Computers
These are some hardware devices that I use for my vintage machines. I used to sell some of these, but I no longer have the bandwidth to build these specfic items so I have made the designs open-source. Designs may have been derived from various information I scrubbed from the internet, but layouts are my own. Feel free to make your own builds, modifications, or to ask me questions about how to build.
