Hi - hope everyone is well. NADSBox would be exciting to have, for sure, but I’ll probably have to hold off on getting one for a bit due to other items underway. I’m currently working on getting a FreHD and high-res graphics card running on my Model 4 as well as doing a couple of projects for a CoCo 3. (Also just programmed a very simple “Pokémon battle” game for my 7 year old son on my M102; he found that pretty neat, though he’s not about to give up his card binder for my 102...)
In the meantime, though, I want to personally vouch for the REX units that Ian Sayers ([email protected], to reach out to him directly) has been putting together. Got one recently for the M102. It’s very well assembled and has been great fun to use, and I’m just starting to scratch the surface. I appreciate any user tips, incidentally, so I don’t grossly underutilize this excellent tool. :) coghlana at gmail dot com.
