PiDP11/70: What is it anyway

This is SO COOL

I was reading the January issue of MagPi magasine and found out
about this amazing project https://obsolescence.wixsite.com/obsolescence/pidp-11

PiDP11/70 article
I haven’t done much electronics since college (that’s a while back) but I’ve been dying to restart
and also eventually become a proper Maker.
This looks like a fun and cool project to get my hands dirty.

I’ve sent an email to Oscar Vermeulen, the maker of the kit, to request one
and about a week later he replied to me with an order form and payment instructions.

I processed everything ASAP and got confirmation he took the order. (^ ^)/

I didn’t bring any electorics tools (solder iron, multimeter etc) when I moved to London
so I have to get everything while I wait for the delivery.

After some googling, I settled for a decent soldering iron from Hakko, the FX-888D.

This is gonna be fun.
