Hey Vince! My goodness it's been a long time since I've logged on! I will be at Maker Faire this year as well. Looking forward to FINALLY meeting you!

Beautiful case! I love it, very well done!

While not directly a vintage computer event, there is always a bunch of awesome vintage projects at Maker Faire. It's going to be May 30th and 31st in San Mateo, CA (SF Bay Area.) Tickets are cheap, and it's totally worth going! I've gone the last two years and wouldn't miss it! In fact it's so much...

You should totally go next year, it's a blast! Running a workshop might be fun too! There would be plenty of people who would want to build a Micro-KIM or replica!

I haven't used it with a Micro-Kim (as I haven't a KIM *yet*) but I HIGHLY recommend Parallax's USB to RS-232 Adapter. I use it on all of my hardware development projects. It's a fantastic adapter, really small and one of the cheapest (price wise) ones on the market. It is super high quality and is ...

Is anyone going to be at Make Magazine's Maker Faire? It is May 3rd and 4th this year. For those who have never been I highly recommend attending! http://makerfaire.com/

Vince, check out this driver, it should be what you are looking for.

Edit: Looks like iam7805 posted the link already!

Vince,

You might want to look into the Propeller microcontroller for this project. I've been playing with it for almost a year now, and i've got to say, it makes doing video a breeze!

I might actually be able to make it this year! Are there still spots open for the Micro-KIM workshop?

In regards to the speakjet chip, Parallax has 6 of them listed on ebay right now. They are a lot cheaper than buying them new. http://search.ebay.com/_W0QQfgtpZ1QQfrp ... ssZpbasic1 (towards the bottom of the page)

rEPLICA1... That is so awesome!

The replica can be powered by a USB port and I think that it is a very nifty feature! I would recommend the kit! The replica was my first real soldering project and I didn't have any problems at all. If you have had any soldering experience then get the kit and do it yourself! If you have any proble...

I was at Make Magazine's Maker Faire over the weekend. Woz was scheduled to speak at 1:30. I was sitting front row center. 1:30 came and went... it was now about 1:40. All of a sudden here comes Woz on his segway. He had been in the parking lot for 20 minutes trying to find a parking space. He gave ...

Sounds awesome Vince! I was actually looking into buying a KIM-1 but now I can save some money.

Looks great!
