MicroBeast Z80 SBC (Single board computer) kit part 1

WIP: Manic Miner running in a window with #VideoBeast. It's a good test of the hardware as the code thrashes all of memory.

A few small fixes to be made, but porting it was fairly simple - changing port addresses and adding delays for the faster CPU on #MicroBeast. #8bit #retrogaming #z80

And it’s assembled (minus the key cap labels as I’m tired so I will do those when I’m awake so they go on straight :)
One #MicroBeast assembled and working correctly :)
For the first time in months I felt like doing something so I started building my #MicroBeast z80 computer kit.
42 years apart, but still cousins.
To the left Micro professor MPF-1, from 1981. To the right Micro beast, from 2023.

@LockFarm
The Beast has arrived!
Well at least a MicroBeast, in all it's glory.
Thank you @LockFarm it looks amazing. The manual is is a work of art, probably it will end up on the lab wall.
