Usagi Electric | The Mini-Centurion Works! @UsagiElectric | Uploaded January 2023 | Updated October 2024, 59 minutes ago.
In this episode, we finish off our mini-minicomputer build and get the Mini-Centurion fully working! The main drive behind this build is to have something to bring to the local retrocomputing meetup in just about one week now, and I think it delivers in spades. It wasn’t an easy journey though. We hade a ton of work left to do just to get it wired up and powered on, and we still need to figure out something for the OS. So tag along as we push through to finish the build in time!
