This is pretty dang cool! Coincidentally I was reading about the Multicomp today at lunch. Tempted to buy Grant's board and try it out myself

> This version of Cubix is only $1B00 bytes or 6KB in size which means there

> CUBIX that I know of.  CUBIX can access 4 partitions of 4MB a piece using

> system even though adding the second serial into the VHDL code is easy.
> Maybe it can be used as a printer port.  Who knows what else could be done.
> I'll see you at the CoCoFEST!  Take care my friends.
