About

The Microtronic Phoenix represents a quantum leap in Microtronic emulation.

The Microtronic was an educational 4bit single-board computer system, which was released in 1981 by the company Busch Modellbau in West Germany:

Unlike previous hardware emulators of the 1981 Busch 2090 Microtronic Computer System, the Phoenix emulator is the first emulator that is not only a re-implementation of the Microtronic, but actually runs the original TMS1600 firmware from 1981.

Ever time I see the above pictures I think to myself Granz needs a half dozen of these things!

Why would I think that? Look below at what Granz has built

YES!!!!

He needs to put this up on Tindie NOW!

Then again, it will probably leave me broke.
