Oh, I have so many of my own experiences to tell in this regard, but .. I'm a little curious .. if you still have the schematics, why not build it again and pick up where you left off?

(Disclaimer: I speak as one who has kept almost every computer I've ever hacked on since 1978...)

I could, but the list of projects I want to do is very looooonnnnggggg and reconstructing that machine would be nice to show off, but of no utility.

I also no longer have the software I wrote for it, nor the keyboard or monitor. It's all gone.

My other regret is I gave away my H11 computer. Sigh.

Oh, well at least scan your schematics in and put 'em on a repo somewhere! That might be inspiring to someone, you never know ..

You might be right!

It would be better if I'd just taken a photo of it. There is a photo of my H11 on my twitter profile.
