Hardware, Embedded Systems In this article, I'm going to explore the idea that the 8 bit home computer not only had a great deal to offer the prehistoric early-humans of 1985 but that it may also have a place in the modern world; perhaps, there is something that we can learn from it. Having identified the laudable, worthwhile elements of this class of machine, I'm going to make some suggestions towards a scheme that would embody these characteristics in the form of a machine that would have a place within the modern world.

I've got a car boot (trunk, for Americans) full of used 8051-based mobos if you get serious. But by the sound of it you want to re-invent the Internet Appliance. Good luck, it died.

Casio synth? Sheesh, I used to connect my Stepp synth guitar to a modified Fairlight Series II and play the sound of elephants through it. Weirdness is.
