[1] Matra Alice: Internal RAM upgrade board
The Alice is the French version of the Tandy TRS-80 MC-10.
Based on a design by Daniel Tufvesson:

[3] External keyboard for the Husky Hunter
The Hunter is a ruggedised CP/M computer. My Hunter's keyboard membrane got damaged by leaking batteries, so I thought I might try to re-house the computer in a (to-be-designed-when-I-figure-out-how) 3D printed case. First, though, I need a replacement keyboard ... this is my first attempt at one from scratch.
