Name

• Ralf Steines aka Hippie2000

Hardware

• I'm a hardware developer with several decades of practical experience.
• Besides the tube technology which i'm too young for (born 1964) i touched about any old or modern technique to develop standalone systems.
• I started 1972 with transistors, and ended up now with the current flood of embedded systems running state of the art stable and free operating systems.
• I can develop hardware without any expert tools, if necessary pixelling a PCB board on a C64 or Amiga - see this example made on Amiga.
