I will put the whole story up on my website as soon as I can. The design
was published either in Electronics Australia or ETI, and basically the gent
was ripped off. However, he told me they sold perhaps 100 of these boards.
I have lots of software for it, both on floppy and casette!! and this
includes... wait for it.... an 8080A emulator. Bizarre.
Cheers
