Welcome to 8 Bit Workbench<\/strong>, where I document the restoration, preservation, and everyday use of classic computers and game consoles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Whether I’m rescuing an Apple IIe from storage, relearning Applesoft BASIC, exploring 6502 assembly language, restoring vintage hardware, or experimenting with modern enhancements, this site is my workshop journal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My goal isn’t simply to collect old computers. I want to use them, learn from them, and continue discovering what makes them special decades after they were built.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
