The #Littlecar channel on Youtube has done a great job of capturing the history of Microbee in a compact 18 minute presentation. Well worth a look along with the many, many other retro computer videos he has produced.

@nand2mario Any chance you’ve made project files for ECP5 using Lattice Diamond instead of YoSys/nextpnr? Also, what were the tweaks that were needed?

So, if you have a product concept that you would like to see turned into a working product, or already have designs that you need manufactured here in Australia, talk to Microbee Technology.

No bees or cats (Shrodinger or otherwise) were harmed in the opening of the crate. :)

For those playing along with yesterday's 'What's in the crate' post,
the answer is: a new SMD pick and place machine.

Most of you know Microbee Technology for our retro tech and are looking forward to our 2 new kit computers. However, retro tech is not the only thing we offer.

[Microbee Technology @MBeeTech]

This machine complements our first machine very nicely. We have plans to further expand and enhance our assembly service capabilities but this is an important step right now. Additionally, it will be used to manufacture the small FPGA module in our up-coming kit computers.

[Microbee Technology @MBeeTech]

A large crate has just arrived at @MBeeTech Microbee Technology HQ

Any guesses?

@ludbald It would be possible to port uCLinux to the model with the enhanced keyboard, but that is not something that is planned.

[Microbee Technology @MBeeTech]

One of 2 new kit computers under active development.
Greatly improved graphics & colour, UpScaled video output as standard.
Boots from SDcard. Z80 running at 10Mhz, and 68000 running at 66Mhz.

Designed a new dev board for RGB to HDMI and I2S sound based on the Lattice SII9022A and Crystal Semi CS4344. Needed to try these parts out before adding to our up-coming kit computers.

@LockFarm Should be easy to add to Videobeast ( which looks fantastic btw).
