About Swedish computers... The ABC-80 was popular at the time, though a little bit pricey. It was often found in schools. It was later "replaced" with the ABC-800 series, which was more for professional use. These are BASIC machines, much like C64 and such. The ABC-800 was really built like a tank,...

Very promising, however I find the high pitched fragile synthetic tone (I do not know how to describe it) very annoying. I want more a heavy metal tune.

I do not care so much of having CP/M on the X16, I would get a dedicated machine for that and they are not too pricey. What I do care about is having a proper serial port. Not having that is a huge turnoff for me. Would at least be possible to have it in the motherboard design even if it is not pop...

I used the BASIC that came with the C64 and C128 back in the day and while they can be used for various things, they quickly fall short and I abandoned them for Forth and assembly. With the X16 I will not even bother to try the BASIC, I will go to C and assembly instead. I wish it could boot into F...

Is there some special considerations to be made if I want to pick up some YM2151 chips online?

Given the shipping cost it seems sensible to buy at least 10.

The reason for buying them is to ensure I have some spares if the stocks run out or low causing price to go up significantly.

Moving the bank registers to zero page only makes sense if it is also possible to read them. It is useful to allow calls between banks using a trampoline (bank switcher) in non-banked memory. Such trampoline needs to push the bank number together with the return address so that it later can return ...
