[GreenKeys] Relay Computer on CraigsList (Crosspost from CCTech)

[Javier Albinarrate (LU8AJA-TTY)]

Hello folks,

Funny that this comes out now :) I thought I would be considered crazy if I
even mentioned this.

Since January I am in the process of gathering cheap relays for building a
6bits relay computer. Based on the works that are available on internet, by
Harry Porter and also Jon Stanley. The idea is precisely using my TTY for IO
and also paper tape storage.
Unfortunately getting relays here (Argentina) is not an easy task, thanks to
customs and shitty post, so as with many things, this will take some time.

Hopefully in a couple months it will be done, I will let you know guys.

Regards!

Javier Albinarrate
