That won't fly in many cases. E.g. cc64 would exhibit abysmal compile speeds if I were to swap out significant parts of the compiler code to and from SDCard.
Then what will you do on the X8?

As attached as we all are to the X16, the X8 is just the better idea.

Note that for data, if one is willing to sacrifice video capabilities, you can readily use Video RAM for data storage. It would be just like a small GEORam ... write the high byte of the address to the video page register, the page appears at $0400. If X8 load into Video RAM works, that's where I am going to put my Block files in the X8 version of xForth.

As others have pointed out before: Things aren't as clear as you believe them to be.

Of course they aren't. And I already said that assumptions are being made. But that could be easily remedied. By giving us access to all of the info and the emulator. This isn't being done and is the source of my frustration.

This board might be less trafficked than the facebook group, but I'd argue the stronger supporters are here, where else is there software being released for the platform? Of which, myself, I've released some and have more in the works.

I immensely appreciate what the team has done so far. But we're ready, willing and able to pony up real cash for this/these products.
We're being asked if we want one of the said products, but we're being denied access to most of the information about it.

How is that not frustrating?

Agreed on IEC. It is nice from a nostalgia perspective, but it's not like the fast loaders that depend on 1541 are going to work on X16. The best reason I can see for IEC is not disk drives, but perhaps printers if anyone has those they want to use.
