This page links to all the electronics and computer pages of Grant Searle with a lot of nice DIY computer projects.
Grant lives in the UK (Wales, actually) and was born in 1966 and had his first soldering iron when he was eight. After many years of burnt fingers he is still going strong with electronics. From mid 1975 until late 80s he subscribed to Everyday Electronics and still has them all in a big stack. His interest in computers started in about 1977, so he was very active with the home computers at the start of the 80’s and started with a Dragon 32 then went on to the wonderful BBC Micro. Over recent years he has turned to collecting some of the old computers, electronics kits and TV games, and he has rebuilt some of the computers. Projects include a fully functional Z80 CP/M machine using only 9 chips, a complete 6809 computer on 6 chips, a complete Z80 computer on 7 chips, a complete 6502 computer on 7 chips, Text/graphics PAL or NTSC video and a PS/2 keyboard interface and several recreations of computers on a very low cost FPGA boards. This website is very inspiring.
