Like who they are, whether you know any members, what prompted them, etc.
And are you guys aware of any other similar in-depth studies on the 6800, 6502, 8080, and Z80?
I know why I’m still interested in 8-bitters: their complexity is the right level for my mind to handle. But I’m curious about why, around 20 years back, this retro-cool revival suddenly erupted, round the globe. Was it the availability of information (manual archive) and technology (FPGA)?
