Ever consider a smaller scale for display purposes? I can 3D print replica panels up to 6" x 6" x 6" for smaller scales, notched for assembly in larger surfaces. Stick with the wood and sheet metal for 1:1 scale. As for the emulation, will the design, architecture, components, programming materials be available to the group so those interested can figure out what effort they can or may contribute to the project? Considering the comparable lack of complexity, it could be emulated on an Arduino Mega, Raspberry Pi (even a Zero), or for fun, how about an Apple II or C-64? :) On Tue, Nov 28, 2017 at 2:21 PM, Evan Koblentz via vcf-midatlantic < vcf-midatlantic@lists.vintagecomputerfederation.org> wrote:
This is a really cool idea
Thanks.
What would the models of the computers be made of? Cardboard? Sheet metal?
I don't know. Perhaps wooden frames with sheet metal covers. I think cardboard would be too flimsy.
