MB68k-100, the 68000 Inspired Single Board Computer

An hour at a time, and sometimes two on weekends, this vintage design has come together a full thirty years beyond its time. Touched off by a 1980's-era 68000 microprocessor found in a roadside trash pile, this 68000 based single board computer finds its inspiration in a long-time passion for the elegance of this renown processor, in both hardware and software. And although the MB68k-100 was born of its own sake, it also provides an effective platform for education, experimentation and nostalgic excursions. So, have a blast -- a blast from past.

Patience is virtue, but, in the case of downloads from this little homebrew web server, it may also be required.
