""With a Pi Zero you're likely going to want to run Raspberry Pi OS Lite and have a command-line only interface," Merrick wrote on his PS-85 build page, where you can find instructions, 3D print files, and everything you need to build your own."
"Merrick doesn't just take his look from retro science fiction, either: He's also a lover of retro computing, as seen in the PX-88, which was the predecessor to his newer PS-85 design."
"The PS-85 packs in a small LCD display, a 40% mechanical keyboard with hot-swappable switches, and a Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W - a low-power board with 512 MB of RAM - meaning it can't do too much, but it'll sure look cool doing it."
The PS-85 is a portable computer designed by Jeff Merrick, inspired by the Alien film franchise. It features a small LCD display, a 40% mechanical keyboard, and a Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W. While it has limited capabilities, its design captures the retro future aesthetic of the 1970s. Merrick provides instructions and resources for building the PS-85, including compatible keycaps. His previous creation, the PX-88, was based on the Epson PX-4 and was made as a gift for his wife, reflecting his passion for retro computing.
