I might have a Softstrip in a box somewhere. I had it and 1 or 2 magazines for testing it.

I've been looking for a TT for a while. I hope yours works well. For $600 that's wort it in my opinion for a decade of tinkering. just my 2 cents.

Yea - I'm hoping to add a extra usb port by populating one of the unused sockets and putting a preloaded low profile USB stick inside. We'll see how it goes.

Happy Easter to All!

Have a look at this - https://www.sunrise-ev.com/z80.htm can be completely self contained CPM over serial terminal. This is where I cut my Z80/CPM teeth. Thank you

It's an example pic I grabbed, mine has a Power supply and the CRT, it comes down to 2 pins so I'm sure I can work it out, LOL. The case was gutted back in the 80's I found it in a company I was at in the early 90's. I do have some modered 8088 type PCs and a video card that would work with it but if an Atari ATX were around. I'd jump at putting it on this with a nice LCD on top for the 1090/1091 80 column output. It's good to see you around here - btw. Thank you

I have IBM Portable Personal Computer 5155 model 68 "luggable" case with CRT that would make a nice setup. I will need to test the XEP80 with the Amber CRT in it. So if ATX happens I'm ready. Thank you

I really want to see RS232 serial on the bus, we can then easily talk to a pi , pi zero, rp2040, and a CPM board, I'm strongly in favor of a Z80 CPM. I have also been toying with small informational OLED displays, again all over RS232. Thank you

Do you have other ATRs booting on the Side3? Thank you

The USB stick arrived Friday.

Different board - A firmware board to upgrade the OS and BASIC + RTC + Sparta Dos?

I would like to see Multi Serial card able to plug a raspberry pi into it, perhaps hat style so the pi could be terminaled to allow CLI control. This might also be able to be a modern Z80/CPm emulator. I really have been thinking for a few years of being able to hang a oled or epaper as a independent terminal to show cheat sheets based on state of the computer, for instance a list of Short Cuts for FujiNet or Sparta Dos If it's Multi - serial you could add a Arduino As a Sdrive and Reprogram it on the fly. Lots of things to do in this space. A trifecta of a Pi/Arduino/RP2040 makes a ton of possible features
