This is pretty awesome. Someone is working on a software emulation of my old computer from 1983.

There was already one made about ten years ago to run in MAME but this new one tries to recreate the full hardware experience of using it. It’s still at an early alpha stage but it’s already looking pretty promising.

I have an ulterior motive in wanting to see this. I want to write new 8-bit software with it.

You can see a video of it working here:

The printed circuit board for the original TEC-1, circa 1983. This photograph is of a rare unmade kit from that period. It’s now in the process of being constructed for the first time, 35 years after it was mailed out.
