Ok! Packaged and working. Aluminum chassis, big rubber feet, stainless hardware with nylon washers, actually more 1970 than 1980, but the color is very 2020 (Mtn 94).I can't afford silkscreen panels but I'm making transparent stickers for the front panels. So far I've made only a pair of chassis, first time using outside service for metal work (send cut send) so the bottoms took teo go rounds to get right. These two have flaws but are more than usable. I'll keep these two. I'm liking the gloss orwnge, I had it on hand. The green is too dull. I intend to use Vivid Red in gloss. Overall performance is ok but disk throughout is not good when loaded up. If I can get that up (likely not; mp/m and cp/m do literally no disk buffering -+ no room) it would be decent even by modern standards. But there's work techniques you learn to minimize it. Mp/m is shockingly usable. It boots in milliseconds. Done? Power off.

@tomjennings That is pretty close to ACME Green, #99cc99. I like to pair it with ACME tan, #cccc99. Can you do two colors? Main and accent?

@rosie My own hardware. You can see and old rough prototype, CP/M only, at www.bleeve.me. I'll soon (two weeks?) have a dozen to sell, to recover costs. If there's any demand at all I can make more.

Ok the new website is up, the new machine revision partially complete, which only matters to the five people who have machines, and only three of them are on the fedi. https://www.bleeve.me/I'm in a mad dash to:* Make a small revision to the cabinet design for the "big batch" of 15. * Send cabinet scribbles out for slicing and dicing. * Complete edits to the book which has grown to 120 pages. * Have 20 books made (credit card debt I need to repay asap)* Complete front panel sticker. * Replace incorrect part on the boards (doh).* Finish and paint cabinets. * Assemble machines. * Package software per machine. * Xerox type prontcof CPM and mpm user mans. * Burn in test.I never ever stack these tasks up up front because it's shows that it will be too much work and if I knew it up front I might not even start. But these things need pondering only once underway so it's ok to put it off till the end. And at the beginning, all projects unfold in the same way so there's no need to think about it up front. And soon I will be done.
