I exchanged some emails with Mick Tinker. Basically he gave up as the hardware vas virtually done but there was no s/w from Paul Nolan (of Photogenics fame) to do the interface with PC hardware (the card uses the PC's VGA card as a display).

Personally I think it would have been a great piece of kit. But times move on and now with a fast PC and WinUAE you can get 040 speeds so whats the point (OK, 060 maybe).... Maybe if it had a Coldfire and patches like Oxypatcher etc it would be interesting....

Still, if someone made one I'd rather have real hardware rather than emulation inside my PC...
