It took much longer than expected, because of recurring logistical trouble. There's a lot of parts in the PiDP-1, and that made it a real logistical nightmare. Custom-designed aluminum profiles were one challenge.

But: It's done. We started making PiDP-1 kits today!

Here is the smaller of the two variants we designed, the PiDP-1 Console, Does it look like a retro games console? That is the plan. We're starting to write some new games for the machine. The type 30 vector display is very fun to code for.

So, the hardware development has come to an end. Now comes the real fun: reviving the 1959 PDP-1 with a hopefully active community of users and programmers. For the latter, we're writing a book. "Democoding on the PDP-1: A gentle introduction". Because this was the original democoders' machine, and if it is up to us, it will be again.
