   Nice collection of replicas!   
   I also thought about a PiDP-11 :)   
      
   AB> Is there anyone into it?   
      
   I've built an IMSAI 8080 replica, based on an ESP32 microcontroller.   
   It's a nice soldering project and looks very nice.   
      
   Besides, I've built an RC2014, a "new" Z80-based machine where I'm using     
   CP/M on, together with several add-on cards (sound, terminal, RTC ...).   
   And I have a SC126, also a "new" design, based on a Z180. It uses the same     
   bus pinout as the RC2014 and so I can also use the same add-on cards     
   there. I also use CP/M on this machine.   
      
   Regards,   
   Anna
