- In regards to all the upgrades available for the 8bit..
- Transkey...stereo...multiple PIA's printer and serial ports..memmory..
- Um...how difficult would it be to draw up the prints for a new 8bit?
- First of al you already have them for the xl/xe/800 line....
- and adding a few chips is not problem...there are even circuit design
- programs out there that will do the tracing for you..now..
- how about a limeted production of these new silked boards? Say
- small enough to fit in a baby at? I have everything in there right now
- except my mio..which is undergoing repairs.
-
- While we are at it...since SOME PEOPLE do have the 1450 prints...
- um..why not a parallel drive?
- First of all, all the chips are atari's..still can get 'em. The only
- problem would be the 1450 drive os and its speach...
- Is it Illegal to modify a copyrighted schematic and reprint it?
- Who is to say that you just didnt decide to hook those chips up
- the way you did?

-
- ALSO I PRESS FOR EVERYONE OF YOU TO BUG THE heck OUT OF ATARI TO
- RELEASE THEIR DOCUMENTED SOURCE CODE FOR THE XL ROM's. ALL 500+ pages of it!
