A couple of the proteus newsletters (towards the end of the run) review the

100%, but that the designer (bob hogg) was still working out the kinks.
Bill, I have
two Sols with the 80/64 video upgrade, and I have
docs (I think they are online already -- it is all such a blur
what I've done or just thought about doing).
Been there!
Anyway, when you get around to trying the 80/64
update, let me
know.
Sure! Always good to have help.
I have no docs on the Z80 upgrade, though.
I'm hoping it just drops into the 8080 socket. The picture kind of
looks that way. By the way, are those two 50 pin connectors off the
side of the Sage
for 8 inch floppy drives?
Without documentation it is hard to know for sure, but they are 50 pin
connectors. I'm not sure why there are two of them, as I would have expected
the usual daisy chain connection if there were two external drives. I suspect
that this machine was last used in the late 80s, and whatever hardware it was
paired with at the time is now long gone.
