Well, I don't use http://www.amibay.com to trade. Every now and then I visit, as I follow links there from other places. Far too many rules (and despite what they say, it is not that hard to get round some of them). Personally, my views on copyright are different to the current law. So that alone me...

Even better would be if a SD card slot, a Ethernet port and a large flash EEPROM could all be mounted on the same PCB. Maybe a large SRAM to expand the memory as well. Okay, maybe put the SD ca...

Welcome Simon! Ask all the dumb questions you like (I wont be able to answer most of them, but we can all learn from each other and the experts here are happy to help :P ).
