Right. I'm really looking forward to playing Atari 2600 games on it, and to
turn it into my first machine ever, the Sinclair ZX-81.
I visited Jeri and Courtney this summer in Miami, and only a day after I
left, Jeri wrote to me and said that she had produced a version that makes
the board a VIC-20.
Although Jeri never really told the Schneider-CPC guys that she would help
them making a new machine (they announced it, but did not get her
permission), her board is now the "universal Retro-computer replacement". I
guess Schneider CPC is a fairly low priority, 'cause neither me, nor any of
my friends ever owned one, but it's possible. Just download a file from the
internet, write it to the CF card, plug it in and you have a new machine.
That's what "reconfigurable computer" is about.
