Hi
One of the designs I've been looking at for a long time is the ZRT-80 terminal board. I am thinking of capturing this classic design in KiCAD and having some boards made. Before I leap into it though has anyone else done a recent version of ZRT-80? I am thinking maybe two versions; one a reproduction of the original and another somewhat updated with larger memory chips, TTL oscillators, a VT82C42 PS/2 keyboard controller instead of parallel, etc.

It is practically a tiny SBC by itself not unlike the Sinclair or similar machines

Thoughts?
