WORK IN PROGRESS - At this point no one has printed and assembled one of these units other than me. The documentation on required electronics, wiring, and software setup is not complete. At this point you should consider yourself an alpha-tester!

This model evokes the feel of a TRS-80 Model 3 or Model 4 computer, but is not an exact replica of either. It has mounting spots for a Raspberry Pi, display, and associated hardware that allow you to run a TRS-80 emulator and get the true Tandy experience. I use the extremely impressive trs80gp emulator and it works great! Take a look at a short video of the model in operation.

Instructions for Printing, Assembling, and Wiring the model, along with a list of required supplies, have moved to GitHub and will be maintained there.
