Neat! But shouldn't this rather be called a nanocomputer? Minicomputers could still fill a room at their time [1]. Our desktop machines are “microcomputers”.

Aside from the RISC instruction set part, all the specs scream standard 8-bit "microcomputer" of the late 70s and early 80s.
Fair point :)
Very cool project anyways. Don't think I'm not suitably impressed:)
