NOTE!

Hardware and Software described on these pages are INDEPENDANT from each other.

The new hardware is still available and sold by
Individual Computers at www.jschoenfeld.com.

We will be supplying the software to be able to use the new features, aswell
as keep constantly working on improving the existing functions.
Although the old softwares known from Datel and other companies who did
various similar versions will be usable, they will not be able to fully take
advantage of the new hardware's features.

Please read section by section, they are supposed to be read that way ... :)

    		• Started working on the new fileselector routine after having checked some future compatibilities.
    Since we are planning on getting REUs utilized and get the freezer be able to load almost anything, this needed some research.

    Next I will focus on the IEC loader for HD and FD drives then. Probably we are going to add another saveland option soon aswell.
    People willing to beta-test a probably rather buggy version, please EMAIL ME!

    According to Jens it was a really tough crash and he is damn lucky he survived.

    If the stuff works out as planned, you will get your carts pretty soon with really lovely coverage.
    Going to include a new fileselector and add more small functions soon.
