Well, I think waiting for a working board is the way to go of course, but we
haven't decided how to offer the boards yet. I imagine people will want a
pre-built option. I don't know. I guess the group needs to decide what we're
doing, and we need to have a verified working board first.

Time for a parts list so Ernie can start getting them together (unless he
wants to wait and see if it works ;-).

Ok, I didn't know we had a waiting list. But sure... you'll be at the top

We had a BBC Model B at the last meeting. Walter sold it to me. I can

If you like 8" drives a group of us (4 people) have been cloning the
"PEDISK" disk controller for PET. I'm waiting for the first batch of PCB's to
arrive so we can test them. We all have 8" drives we want to get going.

Thanks! It might not work, as the PAL tuner has been bypassed.
Coco … 6809E represent! There was a UK version called a Dragon 32 that
some of my friends got into. I had more friends with Dragons than C64s,
so maybe I hung with a weird crowd.
It would be lovely if someone could find one of the East York School's
Acorn BBC Bs. Very unusual to see these in Canada.
I'll also be bringing an SX64 — *not* to sell, apologies to my
near-namesake — but to ask about disks. It doesn't seem to do them very
well. It'll format, write, but as soon as you eject, never read 'em
again. Never did much use 5¼" drives, only 8", 3" [yes, they were a
thing] and 3½" ones.
I'll skip bringing the Zeta 2 CP/M machine I built last year. It was a
fun build: http://www.malinov.com/Home/sergeys-projects/zeta-sbc-v2
