I think I have lost track of the architecture. I would really like a summary of how the system works right now. Maybe less emphasis of what were the original goals, and nore sticking to what is there now, what are the subsystems, etc.

Ok. Thanks for the feedback!

I’d love to see detailed tear-down videos and even more detailed, long-form rebuild videos. Document everything!

Will do

I would absolutely love following along building on breadboard. Doing it myself while watching your videos, like the ben eater series. It would be lots of fun.

Ok. Ben sets the bar very high. I’ll try!

A full careful tear down and rebuild sounds valuable but a lot of work, and risky! Could you do the rebuild before the tear down, so that you at least still have the original working one to compare against in case something goes wrong? At the very least, take lots and lots of photos, close ups, different angles, etc - I do that most times that I'm significantly modifying a circuit or decomissioning it, and the photos are so valuable when you later wonder exactly how something was wired up. When you do the rebuild, I wonder whether you can build in automated tests for subsections of the build, maybe driven by a microcontroller at a slow clock speed? It would make it much easier for others following along to check their work, and for you as well, of course, being able to verify each section is working correctly in isolation.

Hmm. Tear down is risky I think useful though in validating every connection against the schematic. I love the idea of creating a test harness for each subsystem. I did this for the soft switches. I’ll start designing the tests. Thanks George!

I'd love to see a long form video series for sure. I'd especially be interested in seeing a long form series just on converting a breadboard system into a bag system for ordering PCBs with. I've never seen anything like that.

Thanks for your feedback. I’ll be sure to create a video going through kicad from schematic to pcb layout, auto routing, DRC, gerbers to ordering. Probably after tear down and rebuild videos.

Thanks. I’m poking around the joystick right now.

please make videos series of tear down I want to understand how all this works

Love your work. How about adding an Ethernet port somehow? This is the only “modern add on” my IIc is missing, but maybe it’s possible with the breadboard setup? I’m no expert, so apologies if my suggestions is beyond the scope of this project 👍

I guess it almost mature enough to have modular PCB.

Don't take it down only to prove the schematics, there are too many valuable computers taken apart, like The Colossus and that Alan Turing thing from Bletchley Park to decipher the messages of bad people. Frame it, put a plexiglass window on it an hang it on the wall. (Then you can say it is working with windows, since the computer can look thought the plexiglass) I am sure you can draw the PCB from memory (your memory that is!)
