        zyzygy surely.

        I ported ISIS-II to a 1MHz Z-80 based 'home computer' of my own design, built from components.

        2x 8" drives. PSU you could weld with. 16k RAM, 16k EPROM.
        Weighed a ton.
        Best bit was when I wired the RAM board so it would write to RAM with bits 0-7 but read bits 7-0 i.e transposed MSB to LSB. Oh how I laughed....
