What do you guys think? The thing has a
peripheral expansion header.
We could hook a modern floppy chip to that, connectors for
different drives, and off we go...
What's the cost like? Is the board made up of separate components
(CPU, ROM, RAM, USB chip, buffers for I/O, Ethernet chip etc.)?
I'd find Ethernet more useful than USB, and in an ideal world I'd
prefer a board where the functional areas are segregated (rather
than some complex and expensive single chip, where if disaster
strikes the thing basically needs throwing out and replacing as a
complete unit)
