NOTE: These instructions are somewhat dated. The instructable shown on this page actually explains the installation of our older, manually soldered kit. Many customers still prefer this older manual soldering kit because they simply enjoy soldering. However, there is now a much simpler, solder-free version of this project, which can be viewed
HERE.
Do not reference these instructions unless you are working with the manual soldering kit.

Thanks.
on the side of the device, so the buttons can be reached with the left hand while typing. You could of course mount your own buttons somewhere. Every typewriter is different -- that's why its a fun project!
but the mini pc is how much?

The "personal computer revolution" must be credited to both Altair, who "made the ball", so to speak, with their "8800", and IMSAI, who "got it rolling" with their "8080". As far as I know, both used the same INTEL "8080" processor, virtually the only "micro" in existence at the time. By adopting as "standard" many of the features of the Altair while improving significantly on their design, IMSAI helped create much of the market they both then, brielfy, supplied. (Altair's only real "advantage" was Bill Gates' BASIC, quite possibly one of the last pieces of software Bill can LEGITIMATELY claim to have WRITTEN HIMSELF...)
Of course the result will be less flexible but the USB connector is an expensive accessory.
Ebay/sparkfun doesn't seem to have bluetooth breakout boards with HID support wonder why =\
