Eventually, every child has to surpass their parent. In this case, it’s my #Sega SG-1000 clone, which now has 32 times the original RAM! Plenty of room for ridiculous new projects. #retrocomputing #retrogaming #sg1000 #kicad #sc3000 #mastersystem #z80

You can read all about the trials and tribulations of bringing up a new board here: https://www.leadedsolder.com/2023/01/31/sg1000-clone-v3.html
The Soggy-1000 turns a page

For version 3 of the Soggy-1000 SG-1000 clone, I wanted to make it more useful as a general-purpose computer. Building a new keyboard is going to cost a fortune in parts, so it’s fiscally prudent to find more reasons to use said keyboard. There are only so many SG-1000 games out there, the SC-3000 software library is kind of small, and I was using only 2k of the 32k of RAM that I had on the board. These are all problems that can be solved with a suitably large application of hubris.

@leadedsolder yes, please! One of those would look amazing in a 3D printed case with a modern mechanical keyboard (SC-3000H v2?).

@thevowel an SK-1100 mechanical clone is definitely on the list, as is a case… once I can decide on a style. Can’t make my mind up between “original SG-1000” and “Model 2 Genesis”
