Re: Mockingboard in 128EX?

["SloppyMagoo" <joeseeley@gmail.com>]

Bill,

Wow! You're making a IIc version of your Mockingboard cards? That's
more than I hoped for! The reason I was thinking 128ex was due to the
default 1Mhz startup speed (the IIc+ is a little trickier for my kids
on bootup) and the external slot.

But hey, if you're coming out with a IIc version then I can pretty much
have my cake and eat it too. Even if it doesn't come out soon enough
though I will fall back to this plan.

Thanks for the prompt response!

-Joe
