Great news, everyone!
The first ZX Spectrum emulator board has now been built—and it’s officially up and running. 🎉

A huge congratulations to Tony Ellis, who is the very first person to successfully build the board, and to Wayne Robins, who has proven the excellent outer casing. It looks fantastic—very smart work all round.

This marks an exciting milestone: in 2026, we now have a brand-new emulator board that enthusiasts can either build themselves, or—very soon—purchase ready-made. More updates coming shortly!

I grew up with early access to the Tatung Einstein thanks to my stepfather’s work at Decca/Tatung. While friends had ZX Spectrums and C64s, our family proudly used a TC01. Years later I rediscovered it—alongside the Tatung 256—and saw the potential these machines still hold. This site is dedicated to keeping the Einstein alive: building tools, sharing knowledge, and inspiring new coders to explore BASIC and beyond.
