Altair

Altair-Duino 8800 https://adwaterandstir.com/altair/ (Very nice replica 
for these days... uses arduino)

Altair 8800 Clone https://altairclone.com/ (replica of the original tech)

Altair 8800c Clone https://deramp.com/altair_8800c.html (another great 
replica that uses the original tech)

===

KenBak-1 Replica https://adwaterandstir.com/kenbak/

===
DEC PDPs (uses raspberry pi)

PDP-8 https://obsolescence.wixsite.com/obsolescence/pidp-8
PDP-11 https://obsolescence.wixsite.com/obsolescence/pidp-11

The creator is working on a PDP-10 replica now.
===

IMSAI 8080 https://thehighnibble.com/imsai8080/ (replica that uses esp32)

===

Digirule2u https://bradsprojects.com/digirule2/ pardon for this offtopic 
but it's a small computer in a rule very related to old panel computers 
(I ordered one but it's still on its way ...)

===

Does any one know about other replicas?

Ministrel is a replica of ZX81 but it's not being produced for while.

  * BTW... I projected my own one replica of a ZX81 ant it's great... 
maybe I'll sell as a kit someday...

Harlequin is a ZX Spectrum Replica http://www.zxdesign.info/harlequin.shtml

--------------------------

I've heard about some apple1 replicas... and I know that the guy from 
altairduino is creating his own version of an apple 1...

Please send more links about other old computer replicas :D ... but 
don't consider FPGA solutions 'cos they are "easy" to develop and don't 
provide the same fun...
