PC104 Version on hold
09/27/2025 at 06:53 • 0 commentsDue to some personel circumstances, I would like to put this project on hold, unless someone would take it over.
The schematic has been modified to allow using of different EPROM. or EEPROMs.
Files available here.

PC104 version under way
09/23/2025 at 21:59 • 0 commentsFor fun, I'll make a PC104 version of the BBTC. The only DIP chips will be the Z8001, clock generator and the 2 EPROMs. I'll make the EPROM configurable for different chips.
I'll only provide the files, no PCBs.

BBTC
08/18/2025 at 05:47 • 0 commentsI made a prototype of the Trump Card a long while ago, but got rid of it.
Now, all the components are easily available and PCB fabs can make your own PCBs for a small price.I made the schematic in KiCAD and the PCB is under way presently. There's not much components so I should finish within a month.
Meanwhile, you can modify the schematics to make a full retro computing version or a fancier version with many more features.
