SIEMENS SIKIT 8080 - Putting together a 50 year old rare microcomputer kit - Part 1

From a collection of parts to blinking an LED - Arduino, 1976 style. This is part 1 of my entry in the Hackaday Retrocomputing Challenge https://hackaday.io/project/206543-si... My plan is to make this into an EPROM burner for the ancient tri-voltage 2708 EPROMs. And of course it's got to eventually render a Mandelbrot. And then what? Got good ideas what to do with it? I would use it for home automation if I had any automatics in my home. Disclaimer: This video is pretty boring. OK the last 7 minutes maybe are ok. Remember to use the right-arrow key to skip 5 second increments. And the chapter markings. Specs: CPU: 8080 at 2.048MHz ROM: 1k, expandable RAM: 256 Bytes, expanded to 2k 1 serial port, 24 parallel I/O lines It's a clone of the Intel MCS-80 Kit 0:00 Intro 7:36 Build montage 49:20 Testing the clock generator IC 51:22 Debugging starts 58:46 It's working, let's test the rest
