New forum is up, you are welcome to join!
Thanks for your interest in our work here!
Check out the project topics and you can see what these preservation projects are all about.
There are also project web pages available from the top menu which show a lot more details about my work including photos and sectional schematics.
Several of the listed projects have been fully tested and debugged so these are fully functional system preservation designs. Most notably so far is the IBM 5170. This project is recently migrating into FPGA technology with some assistance of a CPLD, so eventually we will have a full HDL code representation for the 5170 recreated in a more modern form. The FPGA REV4 can be built into a micro ATX case and is currently in progress to be debugged and tested in the future.
Every developed historic computer system recreation design is available on GitHub for building this for hobby or educational purposes.
The GitHub pages contain the schematics, board layouts production files and complete quartus projects.
Non commercial use only, see the GitHub and website pages for all details.
Teachers who are interested in featuring a project of mine for their students can get in touch and I will be happy to answer questions and help provide more teaching materials.
Anyone who is interested in recreation of historic computer technology and wants to join this forum can send me a message using the contact form and I will create a login for you so you can also join the preservation forum. Everyone is welcome if you are a fan of this type of projects, like to participate in the threads or suggest project ideas, etc.
I have done my best to simplify the forum system so it looks clean, if there are any unused elements that is more a structural thing but I will work on it to get these out.
The forum is now using phpBB3 because of earlier crashes of the previous software.
You can use the forum in adaptive style from inside the community website page as well by browsing to the main page and clicking on the forum menu item.
I look forward to hearing from you if you like the projects!
Kind regards,
Rodney
