Building a Replica Acorn System 5 Computer System

Earlier this year I came across a website all about the Acorn System computer (a single board computer or SBC) and the rack mounted versions.

The site owner had various replica PCBs available that he had recreated based on the original Acorn versions. Well, I couldn't resist, so I bought a load of them...!

Over the past two weeks I have been ordering parts from various sources. So far I have received parcels from over ten suppliers with more on the way! And that's just the electronic components! Getting everything has turned out to be a bit tricky.

I already have a rack/case that I got second hand some years ago. But I will dig that out of storage later on.

More details to follow at the weekend...
