RE: Product requests - paulmackay - 21-06-2024
A new microbee premium motherboard. Similar design to pc motherboard to fit in a tower. separate keyboard. maybe pc keyboard. have the reset on on the tower case with power. as an extra maybe some slots similar to apple II so we can add in cards. do away with the floppy port and have it boot cpm from ROM. Remove the floppy chip circuit and replace it with wireless wifi. make a shell that will like to either connect to another bee or to a pc to transfer dsk images to the microbee cf card. run internet on teletext. The system could have a ROM card designed for startup so you could select boot to cpm, system test utils and a menu to select roms along with basic and disk basic. could also put new sound chips on the bus along with future expansions. maybe also reroute the keyboard through another port rather than video so there is a possibility on upgrading the video chip with more pcg. use sram for pcg so both the z80 and video can have access to ram at the same time with v sinc. this must be 100% compatible. maybe to fix keyboard just have the new routine send code to the original port so no reason to patch anything.
i want to buy one

Hello Paul.
There is no wait list or any need to reserve a new machine.
They are ongoing products, ie: not limited to a certain qty.
Once they go into production they will be available for a number of years hopefully.
