yep even another 6502 cpu board, when i sav that i thinked why, today i know more why it was so cool

same practice is in amiga where 68000 is just one control center for all the rest of the girls on mainboard, if the market as today was build on that idear there would be better computers and mac was better :)

shame on the few that belived we need to put a 80286 into a500 to make it possible to run all the good software from friends at that time, today its seems silly :(

problem i have in my 6128 is that the floppy drive cant run the floppys around :(, so i have to make repair when i find how to :/
