I had a look at some VTech computers at the local Toysrus (or something like that) recently, and amazingly they don't look much more advanced now than what they offered in the mid 1990s. That's pretty hard to pull off, but I think today it's a deliberate choice.
Does anyone know if a list exists with various models of these Vtech machines, and what hardware is in there?
I come across Vtechs semi-regularly in places like thrift stores & flea markets. And wouldn't mind having a go at some.
The model discussed here seems fairly hacking/modding friendly (discrete Z80, cartridge port etc). But I suspect most Vtechs are dirt-cheap, undocumented ASICs + tiny LCD screens. No fun hacking that (besides ~0 collectors value).
