I was going to post a link to the discord we're using for development and forgot. Here it is, enjoy!

Martin's pipe dreams Nov 1

This design and the music with it is pure ASMR to me. Goosebumps galore.

@dragonminded
Your Schematics are pretty easy to read. I like them a lot. One can clearly see that a lot of work and dedication went into the project. Thanks for sharing. I am thinking of using a somewhat different architecture but the building blocks are the same. I think I might copy a bit off your work ^^

This is how I design a modular #minicomputer modular case the old school way ...

These boxes are cheap sturdy and standardized. You can get a coaster roller for them. Standing on The small side they make nice cabinets to be displayed on a con table.
60x40x22 cm
Put in a little wooden framing and a transparent lid. Should be around 35 bucks a case. Simple to build.
Using discrete logic modules 10x10 cm, point to point wiring, cheap VGA cables for box connect

What do you think?

Question:
Can someone recommend a #headless #portable #MiniComputer?

I’m looking for something I can plug my #xreal One Pro glasses in and browse the web, read feeds and use mastodon.
I tried iPhone and iPad but found it cumbersome to control them without touch screen.
I’m thinking of using a small Bluetooth keyboard or game controller instead of touch.

I've put a gallery of photos I took during the INIT HELLO Apple II conference at the System Source Computer Museum this past weekend online for anyone who might like a look at some of the festivities.

What a wonderful time it was! Can't wait for next year!
