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 ;-).

    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
