Count me in as an interested party... because all this CP/M talk has
gotten me curious.
I'd recommend keeping the CTC if possible -- just because little to
nothing was written for it back whenever is moot. The people who are
interested in it TODAY are much more likely to want to tinker with it.
Their motivations are completely different and obviously not
commercially oriented. And how many times have we griped about a card,
whose designers or manufacterer cut corners, features. "If they'd have
only done this or used that... it would have been so much better."
Don't make a JACPMC - just another CP/M card - make something awesome.
