The First Acorn Electron ULA for (nearly) 40 Years!

Video Description

A New Acorn Electron ULA for the First Time in 40 Years All your broken Acorn Electrons gathering dust in a cupboard can now be brought back to life. Thanks to Chris/Mogway/Jamsoft who has recreated the notorious Elk ULA using an FPGA and other bits of software wizardry. And now its possible to build a new Electron motherboard from all new parts too with the addition of a recreated motherboard from the clever Board Folk! You can even replace the original keyboard with a cheapo PS2 one!
