I'd just like to say bravo, to Sprow, and John Kortink, and others for
their commitement towards projects like the solid state storage for the
BBC, and the Sprow-board - do you know the possibilities you have
opened up for bringing the BBC Micro into the 21st Century? Someone
could easily design a GUI o/s for the machine to somewhat emulate RISC
OS, and even an up-to-date graphic browser accessing the Internet with
TCP/IP stack, etc.
I might try sometime to design and produce new BBC Master clones
incorporating some or all of the above (if someone hasn't already done
so) - last time I checked the original parts can still be sourced. I
don't think it's technically impossible, and they will be designed to
work with all the modern hardware as well. By the looks of it there's
still a steady market for the BBC Micro even now? What do you think?
Well done folks!!
Fiaz.
