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 £499! 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:
-----------------------------------------
💥 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 Somos® 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!
💥 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.

💥 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
🕹🕹🕹 We put all the parts together and playtest at the end. 🐔🥚🏃♂️💨
