Software rules the world. Without software computers are just pieces of plastic, sand, and rusting metal. So as well as writing some original software for the UK101 I’ve also experimented

One issue with using this UK101 FPGA emulator with a (relatively) modern PS/2 keyboard is that the keyboard layout is subtely different to the original machine. I overcame this initially

After completing the minimal implementation, I expanded the memory using an external static RAM. This modification creates around 40K of usable space – five times more than the “standard” 8K

My first goal was to use the Cyclone II FPGA to build a minimal 4K replica. I made up a small circuit board to attach the resistors necessary for the

There are three computers responsible for my eventual career in software. The Compukit UK101 is one of the three, ranking alongside the first computer I used (a Research Machines 380Z
