Mark Fixes Stuff | Tatung Einstein MODERN UPGRADES & PLAYTEST! Custom Digital Disk Drive mount from @PCBWay & RGB SCART @MarkFixesStuff | Uploaded January 2023 | Updated October 2024, 9 hours ago.
*** This video is kindly supported by PCBWay.com - My choice for for high quality PCB manufacturing, 3D printing and more! ***
Join me as we upgrade and playtest our (now working) Tatung Einstein TC-01 Microcomputer. This fairly obscure British home computer launched in the summer of 1984 for an astonishing ยฃ499! A lovely computer that never really made a dent in the british market and ended up being the system that other 8-bit games were developed on!

Upgrades in this episode:
-----------------------------------------
๐ฅ A custom mount, kindly produced for us by our channel sponsors PCBWay! They've produced this 3D print using a tough yet slightly flexible resin called Somosยฎ Taurus. The detail is superb, and any dust picked up by the camera is mine!
You can find PCBWay's CNC and 3D Printing offerings here: pcbway.com/rapid-prototyping/manufacture and I thank them and the wonderful Elaine Hu for their help and attention!
๐ฅ For Video output we are using an RGB SCART custom cable from the amazing Retro Computer Shack. Cables made by Ian Priddey are absolutely superb and I have no reservations about recommending Ian's work.

๐ฅ A whopping great 1 metre long dual drive lead from York-AV on Ebay: Seller ebay.co.uk/str/avyork - Item ebay.co.uk/itm/115419435601
๐น๐น๐น We put all the parts together and playtest at the end. ๐๐ฅ๐โโ๏ธ๐จ
