That will be some time after my PCB's are made... many many moons from now.
Get the schematic done, get the PCB's made, write the microcode &
convert Small C software.
Still I am off to a good start ... I have a BAG of front panel switches

Ben, if you need a low cost EPROM programmer just
go get yourself a
junk PC
(practically free) and for $20 on Ebay Buy-It-Now (or less if you are
patient), get a Willem Programmer.
You should also be able to find a dirt cheap, piece of crap Chinese
EPROM eraser that will do the trick off of eBay for about the same
price. I picked up both close to a year ago so I could burn some
EPROM's for my Commodore 64. Definitely a worthwhile investment for
the price, and the best part is they're *SMALL* compared to old
commercial models. Zane
PS: For a CP/M system I may save up and get a ALTAIR replica next summer.
