I know the books, but I didn't use them. I think I had a print out of the ¨reference guide. I mostly wrote D&D character generators, variations of Star ¨Trek (based on what I had seen pictures of in computer magazines, having never ¨actually seen the game), and 'security' login programs. lol

It's all working very smoothly. The last thing I need to do is build an actual case for it. I have all of the pieces in place, but they're just sort of spread out across my workbench. This computer was originally a desk. Like, it was literally built into a desk that you sat the terminal on top of. I've moved to Mean Well power supplies, and all of the original 8" components are now 3.5" or 5.25" components, so it's much less hardware than it originally was. My plan is to build an 'homage' to the original cream and wood-grained case that IMS shipped some of these units in, but not as xbox huge.
