I reconstructed this computer from board scans and schematics found in an Italian magazine from the '80s.

I fixed some of its design flaws and patched its ROMs.

I designed a keyboard for it.

I soldered every single PCB you see connected to it (and the mainboard too).

All so that I could use it to telnet into a #BBS without using the PC I have 50cms on the right.

I'm a totally stable person.

@InkomTech We really should.

I vote for the tshirt, so I can throw it on a chair behind something and totally forget about it for MONTHS.

That's a wonderful S100 board, I have built several by John!

@hkz the perverse thing is, this runs slowly enough (9MHz) that I can hook cheap test / hacking toys to it and Really Learn circuit stuff I previously glossed over.
