Based on German prices the generic board will probably be quite competative price-wise despite the use of a GAL and a pair of 'LS646 chips! Would simplify things quite a bit if the generic interface were used via a fake z80 40pin dil upgrade socket on the Multi-Rom motherboard, certainly reduce your designing&development overheads:-) > Termite however is coming along nicely...

That would be nice! A usefull facility to have in a script language will be to be able to calculate CRC or CRC-32 of one or more strings ie a reset crc acumulator function with a crc_string function and end_crc function It would allow EMSI logons to BBS's and EMSI Fido mail sessions. That's one thing that's seriously lacking in z80 scripted terminals:-( > ps the scripting may only be for version 2, as will fax and possibly > slip/PPP support :) :) :) Fax has been done on a z80 before ie PCWFax by Andrew Margolis I've disasembled it and have been meaning to port it to ProDos, not got around to it yet as it's about 150k of source code and lots of CP/M+ specific calls:-( slip/PPP now that would be a z80 first! could even tempt me into booting native mode;-) Keep up the good work!
