Hi Bob,

BL> How fast do these bloody CD-ROMs have to be?
BV> Just a bit faster than a 4070  a 74LS would have worked okay.
BL> Bastards!



BL> Anyway, *FINALLY* I've got the fucker working. Both hard drives
BL> run Mode-4 with 1500kb/s transfers, the CD-ROM is reliable, and
BL> I've got lots of extra ports to run my ACAD dongle.
BV> Great. Now all you've got to do is document it so that we can
BV> sell it in kit form :)
BL>  I'm not sure the public is ready for a CMOS gate glued upside down
BL> on the ASIC with Tarzan's Grip... not to mention my DIY superglued
BL> printed circuit copper tracks.

Perhaps we could serialise it for one of the monthly magazines :)

Cheers, Brenton
