Overview

    A micro-computer inspired by the Atari ST and Amiga 500.

    The RBT-16 is a micro-computer designed to be an Atari STe and Amiga 500 successor, not limited by their technology and history, but by what we have and know today. The RBT-16 is a middle-term between 3 worlds: Atari, Commodore and IBM.
    Our design goal is to have something fun and interesting to play and use.
