Not bad only 3 days after Xmas...

I don't know a lot about CPLD's so forgive me if this is a stupid 
question... Can it be reprogrammed to be a Z80 or a 32016 for example?

That's assuming the code/firmware whatever its called that makes the 
CPLD behave like a 6502 chip was ever written for it or is it 
permanently emulating a 6502 chip ?

Also how do you change the clock speed ? via a *command I guess as I 
can't see any dip switches?

I better dig my Master and RiscPC out of the loft, replace the battery 
pack on the Master (I think that's all it needs, my Beeb+ is rather 
sicker IIRC), get a new backup battery for my RiscPC (I removed it 
before it leaked...) and get them both working to justify buying this :-)

In case your wondering I use the RiscPC to copy software onto floppies 
for the Master.

Cheers
