Mitsuru Yamada is no stranger to the scene and has delivered an interesting MOS 6502 based homebrew with PERSEUS-8 already.
Since the machine - after its own statements - is to be used somewhat awkwardly due to the necessary serial terminal, Mitsuru now built and presented the successor Perseus-9.
And the thing is gorgous. The aluminum case alone is so cool, that it could perfectly fit into a Japanese Godzilla movie of the 70s. Besides the keyboard Mitsuru has also built in a character display, both of which are powered by a second MOS 6502.
The box runs the floating point interpreter - also developed by the creator - and makes the first MOS 6502 glow. Whether there is other software available, remains a mystery.
Coolness factor: 💯
