As a non-hardware person - I don't (yet) understand electronics, and from the sidelines, should we (as a group) not therefore be helping Peter to finish his kit rather than talking/thinking about another? Are we a community? Just a thought. It's perfectly possible that Peter may not want any help, but surely we could ask/offer where we are willing and have the skills? As a hardware guy, I would say the FPGA route is the way forward. Costs will continually drop and speed will increase. The VHDL design will be transportable to newer and faster FPGA's and is therefore future proof. One possible boot up mode could be classic QL with Trump card and simulated floppies (SD). Video output could be DVI. I really hope Peter could do this. Cheers Malcolm _______________________________________________ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm
