Hi, Tony. Thanks for the response. I can't do much about it over the next two weeks, because I'm 12 days from dissertation hand in (with, naturally, four weeks work to do), but I'm certainly interested. I'd love a 6809 board. I have the User Manual (and some others from similar era) and the Eurocard schematics (as you may remember). I don't think I have the ROM source, so that would be nice. I do have a rather nice Eurocard rack (empty, cost me a fiver, and that was only because it had a nice PSU). I'd like to build a floppy add-on for the 6809 (I have the schematics for Acorn's one, and I think I even have the parts), so the Flex boot disk would be a goodie. I don't care if any of the firmware/software is original or an "off-site backup". Since I worked for Acorn, I can assure you they wouldn't care about copying such old stuff (unless it was ridiculously blatant for-profit misuse). I copy ROMs myself, all the time -- there's nothing worse than finding it's the ROM/PROM/PAL that's died in some old board, so I like to make copies of anything I get, for security. Yes, I know some manufacturers dislike that, but I've had two bad experiences trying to track down replacements. I have a 27xxx programmer of my own, but I wish I could persuade the Department to let me keep the MicroPross programmer (the one that knows how to program every TTL PROM, almost every 27xx, 27xx, 28xx EPROM, and umpteen PALs). It may be ten years old, but I've not seen anything else with a quarter of the performance. -- Pete Peter Turnbull Dept. of Computer Science University of York
