A2Pico is, essentially, a universal peripheral card for your Apple ][ Computer. Want a Z80 CPM Card? Maybe you need inexpensive mass storage. Need to add SmartPort support to your machine? Or, maybe you’re a hacker and want to design your own function. A2Pico lets you do just that!
Using it easy: Flash it with the firmware you want to use (or write your own firmware!), put it in the appropriate Apple // slot and have fun!
The architecture is well documented and ready for you to hack and make your own.
The ISA PicoMEM Extension board (For 8086/8088 PC) is a way to run Emulated ISA boards on a real PC. It currently connects the full 8Bit Memory and I/O Bus plus an IRQ to a Raspberry Pi Pico, through a multiplexor/Level shifter chip. The Pi Pico also has a 8Mbyte PSRAM connected in SPI and a MicroSD Slot. This GitHub Repository does not contains the Firmware at the moment, but PMMOUSE, PMEMM and PM2000 Source are available.
This is a Raspberry Pi HAT that implements a PC-style parallel port. GPIO pins are organized as data, status, and control registers. The HAT includes a buffer chip that converts from the GPIB 3V3 logic to signals that conform to IEEE 1284. A 26 pin IDC header on the board connects to your DB25 connector. A parport-gpio driver and device tree overlay integrate the HAT with the Linux parport driver stack.
I wanted to use a parallel port based cooled astronomy camera, but preferred to use the compact and low-power Raspberry Pi over a PC at the telescope. Parallel ports are simple devices. Why not build one?
Every item is for either your Commodore PET, VIC-20, C64, C64c, SX-64, C16, Plus/4, C128 or C128D. Every product is currently commercially available or coming soon. That means that while you browse this guide, if you see something cool you can order it and have one for yourself.
The items are grouped into 12 broad categories and subgrouped thematically to help you find that expansion for your Commodore 8-bit that you never even knew existed, without first needing to know who makes or sells it.
Some items have feature pages, and more feature pages will be added over time. A feature page describes the primary function and use of the product, shows up-close photographs, lists the models of Commodore it is compatible with and links to the product's homepage and documentation. It also lists prices and gives clear instructions about how you can order it. The feature pages open up comments for the community to leave reviews, and to ask and answer questions.
This repository serves as a historical archive containing specifications for the fictional hardware of the game 0x10c. The game was to be a multiplayer sandbox game set in space, with a fully programmable CPU controlling a ship. The game was cancelled in 2013 to much dismay of fans. A number of fan projects appeared aiming at continuing development, but they also appear to be abandoned.
There are a large number of fan works on GitHub, mainly implementations of the DCPU-16 hardware or code to run on it. GitHub still has a list of DCPU-16 ASM trending repositories. These usually included links to the official specifications which were either hosted on Pastebin or 0x10c.com. The later has been been offline since February 2014 (weirdly the domain was renewed for another year in April 2014), so this is my attempt to archive them for future reference.
This is my fork of the repo for later reference.
This project implements an open source REU for the Commodore 64.
This is an updated version based on the final hardware design. The hardware consists of two PCBs. A Cyclone II development board uses an Intel EP2C5T144C8N FPGA and provides the FPGA and its configurator. A custom carrier board provides a mechanical and electrical interface for the FPGA board, a card edge connector compatible with the C64, logic level shifters required to convert between the C64 5V signals and the FPGA 3.3V signal levels, interfacing and power for the peripheral items on the PCB, a battery backed RTC, a 256 byte EEPROM, and a full-sized SD card socket.
The Brewing Academy LLC is located in Woodland, California, USA near Sacramento. We have been in Woodland since 2015 and have been operating in one form or another since 2005. In the past, we noticed that a lot of cool stuff came out for the Atari and the TI 99/4a and the Commodore, but that it always disappeared after awhile making it incredibly frustrating AND expensive for people to use their older computers. So, we decided to change that1 Our belief is that we find the coolest retro stuff we can and make sure we keep it available as long as possible.
LYNX's goal is to create a customizable computer control system that accommodates the individual needs of each user. The project stands on two pillars: open source, which provides all necessary files and instruction for self assembly, and the shop, where the tool can simply be purchased.

Somebody posted greyprints for making replacement parts for the Nintendo Power Glove.
RTCs for the RasPi that don't use the GPIO pins but a USB jack are apparently a thing. Battery backed.

Briand's project to turn an ESP32 microcontroller board into a plug play Tor client.
The goal is to write a very simple C++17 working Tor proxy for ESP32 so the ESP32 could be attached to any computer with a bash/dos/putty client ready-to-go. Using ESP as a proxy allows to keep no traces of Tor client/browser on your computer (but traces of the navigation history and so on are not avoided!)
REMEMBER: The ESP32 is a 240MHz processor with 320KB of RAM. Do not expect good performance or fast webpage loading!
We build professional grade earth monitoring solutions that anyone can use to measure ground motion and infrasound activities.
Hella expensive, though.
This module encapsulates the access for the serial port. It provides backends for Python running on Windows, OSX, Linux, BSD (possibly any POSIX compliant system) and IronPython. The module named "serial" automatically selects the appropriate backend.
A company that makes lots of specialized shields and hats for the RasPi and Arduino. Antennae, cellular radios, IoT modules, sensors, feedlines, connectors, adapters, and kits.
A directory of known Arduino shields.
A company that makes and sells components, new hardware, and software for classic 8-bit computers.
The first of several wiki pages at elinux.org which comprise a hardware compatibility list for the Raspberry Pi. You might want to have this page loaded on your phone or tablet when you go shopping for new peripherals.
