What Hacker News says

10 sources
The projects I mention here are not clones themselves but ever cheaper PCB prototypes and microcontrollers make it a fantastic time to create hardware for old systems (e.g. ISA). Enjoy these examples: there is PicoGUS [0], a Gravis Ultrasound emulation, a Raspi Pico based PCMCIA WLAN card [1], EDO/FPM RAM modules [2], "Snark Barker", a soundblaster 1.0 clone [3]... If you want more electronics stuff, I suggest you follow the creators of these on Twitter.
