Criticisms? Just one thing, the IDE (w/ CF on) is already designed and practically ready (as released sometime ago by Nasta) (called the QubIDE II).... Maybe you should work with him on the subject.... ;-) How about a Sound card instead of the IDE (I like the EtherQL idea a lot... go on with it)? Even better how about designing an Q40/60 ISA to GF bus adapter? So any potential cards for the GF could be used by the Q60 (maybe even the second processor if that is possible or the graphics part of the card????) IIRC there was an QL bus to IDE adapter designed sometime (a long time) ago for use with ST-506 MFM 8 bit ISA HDD controllers for the QL Phoebus >Dave >ql.spodmail.com
