  - 8086tiny - a very small CPU and PC emulator... but difficult to use
    01/28/15
    When I saw the first time "8086tiny" at http://www.megalith.co.uk/8086tiny/ , I was really surprised about the extremly small size of the source and executable.
    I tried it on my Windows 7 x64 PC, and I was able to start it with the floppy disk image (don't forget to have sdl.dll
  - Some tests with PGP 6.5.8 from NAI and ckt builds of PGP and Windows 7 [offtopic]

    But where does this "ou
  - Pioneer hardware with a (meanwhile) rare CPU: Cosmac Elf (1976) ... and his successors
    01/04/15
    This is really cool:
    The "ancient" CMOS CPU from RCA, the 1802, can be still found in SBC projects like the "1802 Cosmicos" and the "COSMAC Elf 2000" !
    
    Why is a SBC so interesting with the RCA 1802 ?
