- The Flash 8 sounds like a TurboMaster from Schnedler systems here in the
- States, but it only runs at 4 mhz. It would be interesting to be able
- to get specs and info on this beastly, since the ZIP chip project for
- the 128 has died over here.
- If anyone has info or a direct contact with the company, please find
- out technical info (will it work on PAL systems AND NTSC) and have the
- company mail info. I can distribute it to a number of other user groups
- through our newsletter, and also get it posted on some commercial systems
- here in the US. Thanks.
