    Cromemco Cyclops Build!

    Currently working to restore an original Cromemco Cyclops board! I found Bill Sudbrink's incredible website and recreations, and was wondering if anyone had dimensions on the TenTec JW-6 enclosure used in the article. I found a close match (JW-8) and want to cut it down to size, but can't seem...

    Southwest FS: Soyuz Data Recorder / Black Box?

    Slowly selling off the collection of space oddities - thought it would be a fun project to get it running to save BASIC programs or playing music, but I don't have nearly the technical experience required to begin approaching that one. The build quality is amazing, including the cartridge...

    The South FS: Mark-8 Build from Original Owner, Works.

    Picked this gem up on eBay a few months ago for $1,500 - we're moving house, so not looking to make a profit & selling for what I paid. Will be listing on eBay this week. It's from the original owner & builder, who spent his first paycheck on the original kit, only to store it all away and...

    Question: Is the Altair running the speech synthesis w/ panel lights simultaneously here? Super cool if so.

    Does anyone have Netronics Electric Mouth-1 S-100 Documentation?

    Agreed - imagine we'd probably need a way to parse responses from GPT to relevant commands, and could probably use AI to write the code, given a comprehensive list of the vocabulary / allophones. Maybe in a few weeks GPT will know more. The speed of progress reminds me of this:

    Got it working! Wrote a little test loop in BASIC w/ an OUT command to port number 48 which runs through the two vocabulary ROMS. No clue as to what the DIP switch settings mean on the Netronics board, but we have: - SPK enabled for onboard speaker - A7 enabled - A6 enabled - A5 disabled - A4...

    Wow! Very cool - I have Altair 8800 S/N 222699K, not too far from yours. Digging into your site & Mike Douglas' notes & will keep that in mind if the project doesn't go anywhere!

    Does anyone have Netronics Electric Mouth-1 S-100 Documentation?

    Hey hi! I recently acquired an Electric Mouth-1 board, which utilizes the Digitalker MM54104 chip & two vocabulary ROMS, and have it installed on my Explorer 85. Documentation seems to be pretty scarce online. Any help would be super appreciated!
