The Past :
There are and there will be updates in hardware section. Basic V2.0 section added to the software page at last. Also, documentation page has more documents from now on. I also consider about adding a Basic 2.0 tips reference page. Seems as if it would be useful especially for beginners. New software page layout, more software, an AT-keyboard documentation, new LUnix screen driver flicktty and reordered links are the last updates. In the software page you will find many new LUnix applications. Such as a text editor, VDC screen driver, text conversion commands and many speed management applications. Furthermore, you will find their corresponding versions for other OSs' like ACE and OS/A65 .

Tower C64 related documents will be presented in the hardware section soon. But currently it only contains mainly the RS232C and AT keyboard projects. There will be rs232/parallel port interface soon also. If I have my hands on the keyboard, I'll also finish the PC-mouse driver for GEOS with some documentation about how to use it in other OS platforms.

Since I'm pinched by the time, I cannot give any promises for the release dates of my new projects. So, please forgive me about the delays. I planned to release some external memory drivers for LUnix and manual management commands. Also I have a multi serial-port project to be used with mine new terminal program for LUnix (not released yet)...(I know I gave too much promises :-) )
