- The Ashet Home Computer is an expandable and hackable computer inspired by 80's home computers.
- It aims to bridge the gap between Arduinos and Raspberry Pi, designed for fun and learning.
- Features include a dual-core 150 MHz CPU, 16 MB Flash, 8 MB RAM, modern connectivity (USB, Ethernet, DVI), and 7 expansion slots.
- The computer has a hackable OS, open architecture, built-in debug probe, and is fully documented.
- Design phase is complete, with a functional cable clutter prototype validating key components like PSRAM, DVI, and Ethernet.
- Next steps include engineering (schematics, PCB layouts), crowdfunding, and finding a manufacturing partner.
- Goal is to price the computer at 250€ or less, with the design available for free under a permissive license.
