The Cambridge Centre for Computing History

I was interested to read that a FUZE has been donated to the Cambridge Centre for Computing History.

Andy Semark, volunteer at the museum, said "We love FUZE. It's a really well designed system with the Raspberry Pi at the heart of it. It allows you to create simple circuits on the built in bread-board and control them from BASIC. It's very reminiscent of the eighties and allows creativity not only in software but hardware too".

I hadn't heard about the centre before seeing the article about the FUZE. As well as a great collection of computers from across the decades they also run interesting events, not least a Retro Gaming Night and workshops for learning to use the Raspberry Pi.

There might also be plans to run similar workshops for the FUZE in the future.
