I have my sitting in my shelf shelf for a while now. I did some coding in so far. Yesterday, I finally found some time to toggle in some very basic demo programs, like adding two integers. It was much fun! 😊

One day down, maybe two more days to go on a numerical simulation run. So far, its accuracy is pretty close to modern IEEE double precision.

I'm so glad that the runs roughly 23Γ— faster than the real thing. I'd have had to budget nearly 10 weeks (at roughly 750 W) on real DEC hardware.

Yesterday I successfully finished my kit. Worked great! 😊

I plan to mount the (running ) to the outside of the back plane of the wooden housing. RasPi and the main PCB will be connected with a ribbon cable running through the back plane. This way, I can access all ports from the RasPi (SD, USB, Ethernet).

He and I were both able to snag a kit from the next batch. Thanks to my supporters, the cost to entry was very low. Thanks to all of you! More to come.

I guess I should actually do one of those type toots now that I've found my new fediverse home. I used to be @MatStace@octodon.social in case you want to check out the sorts of nonsense I toot about.

I'm also mess around with various and things, and have recently started messing around with using , and assembling my stash of kits (, , and )
