Where 8-Bits Live Forever

Welcome to the machine room. A mix of original silicon and modern upgrades keeping the spirit of the 80s alive online.


The Retro Workstation

Step back into the mid-80s. This station is fully equipped for everything from high-speed disk I/O to ST productivity, all bridged to the modern world via Raspberry Pi.
