- Nonsense.
-
- DTACK Grounded was an excellent, cynical and often correct newsletter on
- the Computer Industry, 68K assembly language, BASIC and just about
- whatever the publisher (Hal Hardenbergh) wanted to put in print. He wasn't
- always right, but always entertaining.
-
- He sold a 12.5MHZ 68000 board that used an Apple II as the host, terminal
- and storage device. One feature of this board is that it ran flat out at
- 12.5MHz, with the DTACK pin pulled low all the time.
-
- I never owned one of his boards, but I learned *a lot* from the
- newsletter. It was published from 1981 or so to 1986 or so.
