A friend of mine and I worked on building something like this last
spring (with a 32016 because of $$$), but put it on the back burner
because of a perceived lack of interest.  I am willing to discuss
taking it up again if anyone is interested, please e-mail me.

I have an old 32016 system (6-Mhz) that is plenty fast for most things
I have done at home.

Let me know -- Scott
