Unique Computer Preservation Group
This is the start page for the Unique Computer Preservation Group.
This is a group of individuals that I am starting who have a deep appreciation for computer hardware of days past.
The mission of the group is to collect documentation, software and any material pertaining to a particular computer.
It will, whenever possible, attempt to recreate the hardware in a medium that will be difficult to force to obsolescence. The most common way would be to implement the hardware in an HDL such as Verilog or VHDL. This way the system can be recreated in a number of FPGAs.
Initial list of computers
- SGI Indigo / Personal Iris

As the founding member I have already begun work on the Mac 128k/512k(e) system and will be creating its page soon.
