Not quite. The 68LC060RC75 uses a 0.35um process. Still I'd love to see it in 0.15um :-) >Finally, with "open hardware", and/or doing it the old-fashioned way, >what is the likely interest in a QL-compatible SBC? note the Q40/Q60 are >not an SBC - an SBC would have the interfaces and connectors all built >onto the same board. I sure considered making the Q40 an SBC. But the majority of users needed systems with harddisks, CDROMs, Floppys and standard Minitower cases with powersupply. This renders the size advantage of an SBC almost useless. While it would add costs. E.g. for the price of an off-the-shelf ISA multi IO card (with all cables) you could hardly purchase the components and connectors, let alone the cables and extra PCB and SMD production costs. Peter
