Just talked to Zilog UK... estimated cost of a 20MHz accelerator for the 
sam is now around 80/90 UKP.

AND... if you don't mind losing a little compatibility (the R register 
springs to mind, and some ports), we could also use a 33MHz Z180 ...

Sooo...

on the browser side, apparently Andrew Collier is working on a new FRED 
text browser... with LZH compression for text, mouse GUI style interface, 
and it will play E-tracker music in the background.

On my front, there's the Chimera browser. Initially supporting (probably) 
just the DCP/MAG file combination of earlier ones (just to get it out of 
the door), it will also handle COMET assembler source, Milan Salajka's 
HTX format Hypertext files, Outwrite text files, SAM C source, HTML files...

and more. Features will include a nice GUI interface, virtual memory 
capabilities, and it'll even be able to read FIDONET mail packets... 
(Guess why?)

:)
