Are you interested in sharing the PCB design files? I'm doing some stuff in an M100 case and I was just looking to start work on a PCB, and I'd REALLY rather start with someone else's design, rather than do my own from scratch. On Thu, Dec 17, 2020 at 6:23 PM B4 Me100 wrote: > > I took both

Oops my bad S it¹s a fair copS. I think I have some blank boards left if you want to build one yourself. Just email me off line with your shipping details etc. Most likely I will not ship until after Xmas to avoid the mailing rush. It is quite a straightforward build if you are comfortable with

Great discussion.  It's sort of like restoring a car or motorcycle.  Do you do a "restoration" where the PCB is identical to the factory model with the goal of having a reliable copy of what came off the factory floor or a "resto-mod" where you just use the shell and all the internal are new

[M100] New Boards

2020-12-17 Thread Chris Fezzler
Long time Club100 member here, more from the user side than engineering or programming world. I see people are coming out with complete kits to build new versions of old computers - including the PCB.Economical? Might that be coming for the Model T someday?  Dumb thought?

I agree, I'm intrigued by some of the possibilities of this. I've always dreamed of a "modernized" M100 that is just the size of of the screen, and you use it with a bluetooth keyboard. CAM > On Dec 17, 2020, at 12:18, James Zeun wrote: > > This sounds very interesting. A similar thing has

This sounds very interesting. A similar thing has been done with the Commodore Amiga. With new, revised boards some providing additional features. Such as giving AGA graphics to the A3000. James On Thu, 17 Dec 2020, 8:05 pm Josh Malone, wrote: > On Thu, Dec 17, 2020 at 2:44 PM Stephen Adolph

The idea of a new PCB for the M100 has been percolating in the back of my mind for a while - primarily though because I'd like to reproduce the schematic in KiCad and nce that's done, laying out a new PCB would be "relatively" easy :) On Thu, Dec 17, 2020 at 12:29 PM Chris Fezzler wrote: > >
