"Recreating the era of 8-bit computers" -- BBC article on the FIGnition

Apr 28, 2011 11:59

The Beeb has an interesting piece on a new 8-bit micro kit by Julian Skidmore, the FIGnition. The name alludes to the fact that it runs a variety of FIG-Forth. John Honniball is also interviewed, and says he built the FIGnition kit in around an hour.

The FIGnition is already on sale in kit form for £20; orders are being accepted now but won't be processed until next month. It's currently PAL-only, and thus not on sale to the US. If I weren't the world's most useless solderer, I might even be tempted at that price!
