Hello.

This is hardware but...

Here is our AVR project we are working since late 2011.
It is something like UZEBOX. But with another philosophy.
It is based on Jerry´s AVGA platform.
(He is also behind all RetroWiź hardware, HW designer).
I am WWW and FORUM admin, enclosure designer.
We call our platform RetroWiz. (from "Retrocomputer Wizard" or "Retrogaming Wizard").
