Awesome, count on me to make a replica of it once the schematics will be available :)

I like the analog look of your videos, what camcorder do you use ?

[256byteram]

@LunaVorax Cool. It's a relatively simple design and will work if you can get a WD1797 controller, or with a compatible controller and some CBIOS changes. I've almost completed the CBIOS now and will be uploading it and the schematics soon.

The video camera is a full sized VHS Hitachi 1280 from the late 80's.

@LunaVorax There's a link in the description now.

This is amazing!

Is there a chance you will put up instructions and/or schematics on your website for us non-technological-god people?

[256byteram]

@UserNumber3141592653 I will be. The diagrams are almost complete (two pages), I just want to finialise some things.

It's 2011. You use a full-size VHS camcorder to make YouTube videos.

I love you.

@256byteram Awesome !

Ooo, that looks a bit smaller than the other CP/M system you made. :)
