This is absolutely delightful.

The little blue "not quite an IMSAI" case is wonderful.

This looks a bit more approachable than the mini PDP-11 clone (which is beautiful) as far as a piece of electronic sculpture.

And I think it rates a bit higher on the "cool" scale than the innumerable Z80s that are floating around.

I don't know much about the 1802, though. I just never really studied it back in the day.

The supercapacitor is a great idea.

It was the first CMOS microprocessor [0] and a rad-hard version flew to Jupiter back in the day.
