I've made a fairly large update to EDUC-8ME, a memory and I/O port expansion for EDUC-8. I have moved the unit selection and address decoding logic from E8ME/D to E8ME/I. This means that E8ME/D is only required in the first EDUC-8ME unit, reducing complexity if more than one unit is used and reducing the load on the switch register. I've also updated the E8ME/M boards to allow the option of using 2102 or 2125 1Kx1, 2147 4Kx1 or 2167 16Kx1 SRAMs. There are also many other minor updates. You can download the updated paper and schematics from the link below.

Next up is documenting the schematics for EDUC-8L, which adds a link bit to EDUC-8.

Repairing the original machine rn. Will document in a new thread when I figure out how

Is there a central repo on Github?

TIA

The Resources section of this site has some. Just trying to get all the info in...

The Github repo is also listed in the Links section.

Hi Andrew,

I run a small group on Facebook, called Minimalist Computing. We generally cover computing technology before the 80x86 PC age.

The EDUC-8 revival project falls squarely within it's remit and I will do my best to spread the news of this fascinating project.

I wish you all the best with this forum.

You might wish to split it into "Component Sourcing" "Build Queries" "Hardware" "Software" and "General"

This will help members find what they need, quickly.

I have absolutely no problem with you using the image.

Hi Steven - I needed a pic and stole one from online. It looks like a lovely machine - I do hope you are OK with me using the picture, but if not I will change it!

Here is my blog where I describe in detail my build of an EDUC-8 in 2007. I also give lots of information on EDUC-8 and plenty of links to software and other resources to build your own EDUC-8.
