Zorro-2 board, of course... For the price quoted above, I'd be VERY interested in getting one... Having a few SBC projects in mind, it is damn hard to do the ML coding debug, testing stage without a decent EPROM burner... If you do design one, please try to put in EEPROM capability too... I'm convinced that this is the wave of the future... Of course, good software will make or break the project. I suggest that in addition to the above mentioned stuff you add in standard HEX file handling (ie Intel and Motorola format data files, etc...) > Another project I've been considering is a board with 4-8 serial ports on it Wait a minute, I was thinking about this one too! :-) >Dave Lewis Loral Instrumentation San Diego (619) 282-3341 -- ================================================================== == Kurt J.
