That's amazing. I wouldn't even know where to start on something like this:
"As you can see, there is an antique 30-pin SIMM memory module on the board. These were in use for 80286-based PCs. It is interfaced to the ATmega, and I wrote the code to access it as well as refresh it within spec (SDRAM requires constant refreshing to avoid losing data)."
Though 300kb/s is (much) slower than a hard disk, which is hard to imagine...and the result: "It takes about 2 hours to boot to bash prompt"
