Ian and I are working on a ROM06/FlameStation combopack that works with
10 bits. We have decreased the number of bits from 16 to 10, each step
involving enormous work. 2 more bits are left. Anyone want a 9 bit
computer with FlameStation 1.0/9b?

Regarding the power supply: I think the nuclear station is not so bad.
The only disadvantage is that you can see the uranium with closed eyes -
quite boring when you're sleeping in the same room. however, the river
power station has another shortcoming: I called LRO Cable Supplies and
they said that they can ship SCSI cables of max. 20m. This means you
have to operate the computer right down at the river. Quite annoying in
winter.
