🕹️ Pico-286 Project
The Pico-286 project is an endeavor to emulate a classic PC system, reminiscent of late 80s and early 90s computers, on the Raspberry Pi Pico (RP2040/RP2350 microcontroller). It aims to provide a lightweight and educational platform for experiencing retro computing and understanding low-level system emulation. 🖥️✨
