Nice collection of replicas!
I also thought about a PiDP-11 :)

AB> Is there anyone into it?

I've built an IMSAI 8080 replica, based on an ESP32 microcontroller.
It's a nice soldering project and looks very nice.

Besides, I've built an RC2014, a "new" Z80-based machine where I'm using  
CP/M on, together with several add-on cards (sound, terminal, RTC ...).
And I have a SC126, also a "new" design, based on a Z180. It uses the same  
bus pinout as the RC2014 and so I can also use the same add-on cards  
there. I also use CP/M on this machine.

Regards,
Anna
