- Yeah, the main problem with me, is not only is the price
- rather high, but I would have to pay more.. As I live in the UK :-(
- (As you might know tha second hand market for things like that in
- Britain is rather small !)
-
- I would still maintain that a memory-less piece of hardware
- with a fast loading EPROM and Parr. Port in a nice case is hardly
- worth รบ150 +++, but that just might be me!!
-
- Think I might get something in the line of the BBGRam..?
