Something which interested me was the fact you can rewrite the FPGA, apparently the GPU is a big part of the book and that is one area that really interests me, so I was thinking of rewriting it to work like the old ZX Spectrum screen complete with colour clash. It should be a really interesting project, even if a lot of people are getting the wrong end of the stick and thinking he is trying to compete with Sony and Nintendo, instead of creating a project to teach people how computers work and how to build your own, who know who here could create the next Yaroze ;) Nigel
