Here are some pictures

The first three are from the stl files I got from Terasic's website to make the case.The DE10-Lite snaps into the bottom piece wile the top piece is friction fitted on the mounting posts for the acrylic plate. It is great for transporting and for any onboard development. If I want to access the 40 pin header or the Arduino header I need to remove the top piece.

The tray came from a community site and holds the board by friction fitting to the bottom mounting posts and is a bit more secure than the case if I want to access the headers.

I did recently found out the Raspberry Pi Cobbler can be used to breakout the 40 pin header to a breadboard so expanding to external hardware will be a lot easier to do.

Yeah, me too. I'm obviously putting the hammer down on getting my mousetraps done now.

I need to get the stuff for my house. About how much does 1 mix get 2 or 3 traps??

It was probably the Adam. I didn't have it very long. I remember almost nothing about it.

Well, it started off decently; not so much further along.

The Adam had a Z-80 processor, an IIRC there was a CP/M version for it - I believe that they treated the cassettes as disk drives. Once, while I was on an exercise (war game) down in Florida, I befriended the base librarian. She had an Adam, and asked me to review it for her. The thing was supposed to be Apple-like (really? with the wrong CPU? ) and the documents were so terrible that I ended up using an Apple book to figure out the BASIC.

There were also Z-80 add-ons for the Apple, and the Commodore, which provided CP/M capabilities.

There was an S-100 add-on for the KIM-1 (I had three different KIMs, one of which was an original MOS Technology KIM-1, and one of those had the S-100 attachment) and, again, if I remember correctly, there was a way to disable the CPU of the KIM, and replace it with a Z-80.

Maybe your CP/M memories came from one of those.

Quote from: granz on Oct 17, 2026, 08:31 PMKIM-1? Are you sure about that?

Now I am questioning my memory of the time...in the early 90s I had several machines that I ended up getting rid of before I could really do anything with them because money became short in 1992 and I had to prioritize.

I remember having a KIM-1 and, from the same person I had gotten an SX-64. There were others. But TBH, I don't remember which one had the CP/M on it. I remember that I had some weird stuff...I had a TI-99/4A, and even some Coleco computer with dual-cassette decks. I remember that I was trading trying to get a Timex Sinclair, but nobody in my area had one.

Oh yeah, through the 90s I had eventually had several Tandy CoCos...all three models by 1994. Of course in the late 80s I had an Apple II. But as I sit here, I realize there are some I don't remember the details. OH! The Coleco was Adam! I also had an Atari 800 at once point. Then when I got into MIDI, I had acquired an Atari ST. Still can't think which machine had the CP/M on it. 

P.S. - I NEVER owned a PC before Commodore went out of business.

KIM-1? Are you sure about that?

The KIM-1 ran on a 6502, CP/M ran on 8080/8085/Z80 systems. It wasn't until just recently that someone wrote a CP/M-ish OS for the 6502.
