The Workshop

Machines we have had on our own bench: restorations, upgrades and teardowns, numbered and written up as the work goes.

PROJECT #001

RestorationIn progress
Part one: checking it over, taking it apart and cleaning the keyboard.

A text-first magazine about retro computers, from 8-bit micros to the Pentium era. Independent, British, and mostly written at a workbench.
