Paul Sajna with Dag Lem have created a beautiful 40 pin FPGA replacement for a oft needed part at the heart of a Kim-1 board that hasn't been made for decades.
This is a very niche kind of cool. There's something purely fun about reviving old tech and it's not a simple feat.
I think it would be cool if you did a follow-up article on the "why" part — what inspired you about the KIM-1, why you thought it was interesting to revive, etc.
