This got posted on Hackaday a little while ago but Fran is apparently getting kicked out of her space.

And the Hackaday blurb:

"FranLab is closing down! Fran is one of the hardware greats, and she’s being evicted. If you’ve got 2000sqft of workshop space in Philly you’d like to spare, you know who to talk to. There will, probably, be a crowdfunding thing going up shortly, and we’ll post a link when it’s up."


North Philly is doing that thing where landlords of affordable housing kick everyone out, especially section 8 people, raze the place and put up luxury units at much higher rent.

There's been an emulator online for years.[1]
