At this point, I would like (initially) some pointers and info... To start off, does anybody still manufacture double density disk boards. Percom had the DoublerII and Logical Systems had the 5/8 Switch, I think. Both used to have them, but I dont know if they still do. Which one was better, anyway, I dont remember! What about a cpu speedup kit? 1.78mhz is the pits. My rams are 120ns jobs (I >think<) so it can handle a z80a. One other question - has anybody hacked together a 80x24 crt controller system? If not, I will. I am about to (try to) design a window based intelligent terminal emulation package, and will be doing initial design on the model I; later on to be ported into (possibly) 8031 and shoved into a Wyse 75 (or something else, maybe). It would be nice to have a full screen, and I'm working out a port based scheme to switch btwn normal video and a new video controller and memory at 3000-3100. Still going- I have a cross assembler for z80 under unix, but what I'd like would be a z80 C compiler - either a cross compiler running under unix or one in z80. Anyone have pointers to that? Are there any model I owners left out there? Please drop me a line! [btw, have you seen 80-Micro? last time I bought a copy, it was >500 pages!] Thanks! John
