ROSCO M68K — DIY Retro Computer Kit (THT Version)
ROSCO M68K is a DIY kit for building an educational retro computer based on the Motorola 68010 CPU. All components use through-hole technology, making the kit accessible even for those who are new to soldering. It is a solid platform for understanding core computer concepts such as memory, buses, clocking, firmware, bootloaders, and low-level programming.
Components in this kit are genuine vintage parts — most are 30+ years old. The CPU may have surface scratches, and other ICs may have worn or faded markings. This is normal for chips of this age and does not affect functionality. All components are tested and verified working
Overview
Ships worldwideThe kit includes the PCB, all required chips and components, as well as access to firmware, documentation, and open-source ROSCO M68K resources. Once assembled, you get a fully functional system that can be used via UART, programmed with custom software, and explored as a hands-on implementation of the classic 68K architecture.
Each kit is tested before shipping, and selected modules are pre-flashed. This is a practical build-it-yourself system that can be assembled in a single evening, resulting in a working retro computer built entirely by you.
