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)
