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").

Our webpage will be here:

Our forum is online (since 12.nov.2012):
