Sorry - I should have explained better. This one is Just FLASH based�not DRAM based. So it would behave like the existing FLASH SIMMs only with multiple images. But it will probably be different enough from the E-MU ones to not be programmable in the way they were.

�

The DRAM version would allow you to change it on the fly, whereas the FLASH is much more static (and non-volatile).

�

The DRAM version is being delayed because the devices I want to use are not yet released (by Xilinx). The FLASH version is a much simpler design and with reduced complexity I can test out the theory [kind of as a prelude to the DRAM version]. The DRAM one is still on the drawing board and will probably have a USB and SD card interface. Unfortunately there's a minor problem with the micro to drive the�SIMM in that the MOQ is very high.

�

Looking for interest in this one, however. If there's not enough I may have to scrap it.

what about a card with a micro-SD slot?

or a USB-card interface?

i'd prefer something that's SD compatible, and i think you could sell 20
of them without any problem. i'd buy at least one, and if you can't
pre-sell a batch of 20 i'll commit to buying two.
