I’ve been bitten by the Scelbi bug and am working with a small team of folks to seriously investigate the possibilities of doing a limited edition reproduction of the Scelbi 8H and/or 8B.
Data mining on internet and preliminary “networking” has yielded some good scans of the the main plug in cards, some schematics, scans of the Scelbal manual, etc. However I’m still looking for more information, in particular detailed information on the following.
1)power supply
2)TTY interface
3)cassette interface
4)the oscilloscope output interface
4)backplane and I/O connections
5)software
6)differences between the 8H and 8B
7)ROM cards
8)main and expansion enclosures
9)documentation
If you have any information on any of the above, or want to contribute in other ways, let me know.
While we gather information, I will continue to work on the Mac OS/X 8008/Scelbi emulator. See my recent blog post for information on this emulator.

Mike,
Good to see you’re thinking about new projects. A SCELBI-8H would go great with the Don Lancaster TV Typewriter I’m recreating. As far as 8 bit microprocessor systems go the 8008 was where it all started for Personal computer systems. If you guys decide to put something together I’m interested and if I can help in anyway just let me know.
Best Regards
