TRS-GPT – ChatGPT client/server for the TRS-80

Hacker News

Hi there HN community. I'm excited to show my personal project -- an open-source code and hardware approach that connects my 1980's TRS-80 Model III computer to an OpenAI server. The TRS-80 can hold a chat session with OpenAI, and it's all very retro feeling. There were challenges along the way, as the approach to interfacing between ancient hardware and modern software interface wasn't immediately available. Please see https://github.com/druid77/trs-gpt for all the details, and let me know if you have any ideas for improvements. For example, adding support for voice.
