CHIP-8 is a virtual machine created by RCA engineer Joe Weisbecker in 1977 for the COSMAC VIP microcomputer. The Chip-8 language is capable of accessing up to 4KB(4096 bytes) of RAM, from location 0x000 to 0xFFF(0-4095). The first 512 bytes, from 0x000 to 0x1FF, are where the original interpreter was located, and should not be used by programs.

Universal Virtual Computer
The specification of an hypothetical computer designed to decode and preserve some form of computation over time.
The Hackintosh Reborn... with AI
Almost a decade ago, I released a hackintosh guide on running macOS 10.14 through a VM with an x86 host. A "Hackintosh" is the feat of running macOS on non-Apple hardware, and has a history dating back to the late 1980s. At the time KVM and PCI

IC
An integrated circuit (IC) or a microchip is a set of electronic circuits (usually consisting of MOSFET transistors) on a small flat piece of semiconductor material (silicon). It is currently the dominant technological basis for computers.

RC2014
RC2014 is a simple 8 bit Z80 based modular computer originally built to run Microsoft BASIC. It is inspired by the home built computers of the late 70s and computer revolution of the early 80s. It is not a clone of anything specific, but there are suggestions of the ZX81, UK101, S100, Superboard II and Apple I in here. It nominally has 8K ROM, 32K RAM, runs at 7.3728MHz and communicates over serial at 115,200 baud.
