Well.... the PC box idea -- yes. PC Keyboard? Yes... 1.44 Mb Drives? Just got to get a suitable controller -- doesn't even have to be compatible with the existing ones (veee have vays of making it talk!)... Accelerator? Currently in schematic form... graphics board? Got one upstairs on the bench... Sound board? Colin Piggot's working on one, and we've got an EDDAC in PCB form as well... Hard Drive? It's two OR gates at the moment, but that wouldn't work with every drive... Soo.... Memory? We've got the RYAN 1Gb interface nearly done... Text Mode? We're looking into it as a new screen mode for the SAM -- namely to get my comms software up to snuff.. Oh, and we're looking at a few other fun things too :) Just gotta wait and see now ;) Si
