IBM Mainframe S360 with Raspberry PiZero
Description
This is based on genetoye's IBM 360 thingi design. The body was hollowed out to make room for a Raspberry Pi Zero and an OLED display was put in the front display. Included in the URLs txt file are the URLs to provided the IBM MVT operating system, circa 1970s, and the hardware & software for the OLED display. Yes, the Raspberry Pi Zero will run the original IBM operating system. The actual item I created was done at 80% of the original genetoye size and the mount provided for the Raspberry Pi Zero is a Q&D hack, which needs improvement. It breaks easily and needs the holes a bit larger. This is a good project for someone who long ago encountered an IBM 360/370 computer and now wants a working facsimile to sit on their desk! This is a work in progress. The front display needs to have a while facade added to cover the holes on the corners of the OLED as well as to cover the remaining face of the printed display. Just in case someone is using an Ender 3 S1 Pro, the 80%-sized gcode files are included in the zip file.
