Learn about the first personal computer. It's a vintage computer that I've replicated using an arduino nano from hackerbox #101. This electronics project uses base 8 octal code to be programmed. We are programming in machine code! Not assembly.

Feel like replicating it using an arduino or esp32? Let me know the programs you've made for it!
