I'm always amazed at how open source hardware and software developers are able to create inexpensive and super useful tools to help get the best out of our old retro computers. This project is one such thing -- a combination of other projects into one pretty amazing new project that makes it easier than ever to connect your 40+ year old computer to a modern display.
