he OSSC is open source with all the schematics, PCB files and Gerber files, I wonder if there could be manufactured?

There are loads of people making them so yes!

Do you have a link for the purchase web site?

Hi,

Thank you for the links, they look really expensive, I have the OSSC v1.6 PCB details, just need to be able to SMD solder the chips...

Or get a GBS8200 or GBS8220 and mod with the GBS-Control upgrades which gives nearly the same result for less half half the price.

I'm not sure whether anyone has seen these before? I've just got myself a copy of a French magazine which has a good article on the Mac and QL at launch, in the context of whether they can unseat IBM's PC (article is a very decent 8 1/2 pages)

The screenshots look excellent on that magazine!

Yeah it's pretty decent. I was not sure whether it was a known article here or not? If anyone wants me to scan it for archival/preservation, let me know.

Might be worth adding to http://www.dilwyn.me.uk/docs/magarticles/index.html

OK ill try to get it done soon(-ish!)

Built this a few years ago using MC68681 (3 byte receive FIFO).
Just picked up a bargain deal I couldn't ignore on 26 of SC28L92 (16 char FIFOs).

Is it integrated with QDOS?

It is a thing of beauty, Sir!
