Hi Well we are moving forward. The 160336 alternate RQDX3 address and vector have been confirmed as OK by one of our Techno Mages. So rather than an RX50 I'll give an RX33 whirl. A floppy disk way in means I can enhance the baseline RT system. Time to dig out all of the Q-bus controll

If anybody is interested in building  Jorge Hoppe's Uniprobe, I have some PCB's available. I made a few extra to keep the price down. Price is $40 ea shipped in the CONUS. These have Silver fingers rather than Gold but should still hold up well. Build information is on Retrocomp. Brian.
