This info is great.
I have been building and coding (asm as well as C) 8bit music devices for many years and despite having a draw full of ATMEL chips, the amazing prices of this already built gear makes me think the draw may remain closed.
I was keen to get something that used the ARM core (thank you BBC micro guys) to give me a reason to learn about what is inside the BCR.
I was having a chat to a couple of guys at my daughters digital agency, August, where they had built this full sized replica of an arcade game so they could while away their lunchtime.
They pulled it apart for me to reveal a flat screen monitor, a couple of buttons, a power supply, a RPi and a lot of air.
I was amazed.
Nearly as amazed as when, not so long ago, I was asked about developing some new code for a Z80.
Now I see I can recommend you. 8)
Thanks for the info. I'm glad I now have a goto guy to help me with all this. 8)
All the best for the new year
