Managed to finally get hold of a personal unicorn machine! Been after one for a very long time! This is my Indata DAI. An incredibly rare beast from 1980. A monster spec that was reflected in the cost at the time. Lovely. ZX80 for scale π (didn't have a banana)

This build should be at @tnmoc next month & @computermuseum in November!

An, ugly, ugly diy resistor network with vertically oriented 1k resistors, connected at the top end, and straddling two sides of a 4021 IC.
You: "ya know, you can just buy a resistor network"
Me: "NO YOU CANT MAKE ME"
I think we're all struggling with this at the moment. Like wise ive also noticed a downward 'shift' in uptake and engagement on X. Its as because as Twitter it used to be one of the better platforms for me, finding it a positive experience back then.... not so much now sadly....
