    Maybe I should have spent more time with this when I was a kid. Was an awesome learning toy though! I think this was the actual kit I had.

    @Phipli I went by what was recommended on the recap-a-mac site. What's the real world difference between what I bought and the 25Vs? Note I know nothing about this stuff 🙃

    Here's an interesting Kickstarter product. LCD in a CRT-inspired case with a wide variety of video inputs supporting many different vintage computer and gaming platforms. Unfortunately doesn't seem like there's a Mac DB15 input available yet, but could be added with an expansion pod...
