It really annoys me to think of the stockpiles of ASICs just rotting in a corner somewhere. It'd be perfectly possible to put together a decent SBC with SAM BASIC for the electronics enthusiast market for 20 or 30 quid, but no.... Full-blown SAMs would never sell now, it's not like the Atari ST or Amiga market where there are some die-hard enthusiasts with decent modern software to use. Andy
