    A tiny x86 retro computer (by eivindbohler)

    • Sure, there are emulators, but I was thinking of a native system. Emulators seem to work great, but I try to avoid several layers of abstractions. Also, feeling nostalgic about how a native FreeDOS system boots in literally 2 seconds (on a modest laptop), I guess.

    Someone built this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZBsv-jRiIT8

    And this, the weeCee; the price point estimated in the comments is around $600, though: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZBsv-jRiIT8

    A third one, with lots of diy involved: https://github.com/eivindbohler/tinyllama

    It is interesting nonetheless that really-low-spec SBCs have not gone into the masses (thus resulting in dirt-cheap prices) the way the RPis have. It is still a nice dream to see this happening with the current rise of retrocomputing.
