I've embedded it, as imgur.com doesn't play so good here: Thanks PM! I couldn't see how to attach a video. The attachments option only seemed to allow uploading of images for me. Have you thought of building an allwin to your own design, using salvageable parts from old Nostalgic Machines? I have ...

I haven't given up ..... yet, although it's not far off. As a prototype I've made progress but I've also come to the realization building a passable imitation of an Allwin is a far more difficult task than I can undertake with my limited equipment and metal working skills. :!?!: I did manage to get ...

I've been getting bored in retirement and for some reason I've decided to allocate a few hours (days? weeks? !PUZZLED! ) of shed time to building a Penny Arcade style machine taking inspiration from the Allwin line of games. I'm a hobby woodworker first rather than a games aficionado and see the ...
