Welcome to the Retronerd website
This site is dedicated to the preservation of vintage retro computer systems from the 1980's and 1990's. I was and still am fanatical about computers from this era and have many fond memories of the Acorn BBC Micro, Acorn Electron, Oric, Sinclair ZX Spectrum, Commodore 64, Atari VCS, Atari 800XL, Commodore Amiga, Atari ST and many more. It is fantastic to see the resurgence of these old machines. I have enjoyed restoring many of these classics to full working condition and enjoy extending their usefulness beyond there original design limits with new components and new projects.Recent Projects
