Thanks John My reason for doing it was mostly desk space in my office. I wanted to be able to switch to the 9100ft when I had some down time and it works a treat. I will post up a few snippets of code that I am writing when I get a chance. I started writing a full blown taito 8080 hardware (space invaders etc) guided fault isolation program a few years back but it got put on hold. I also want to start using it to troubleshoot discrete logic pcbs starting with pong. I think the parrallel I/O modules will be perfect for that.

Hello list
I just spent the last couple of evening working on modifying my 9100ft to colour VGA after years of using the fluke black and white monitor.
I have documented how I have done it on my website here:

I have also documented how I replaced the SCSI hard drive with the SCSI2SD adapter.
Many thanks to Martin White and Andrew Welburn for their previous work and assistance.
Cheers

Nice work Steve, I have a couple of old CGA monitors so didn't need to upgrade, but using the 9820 card allows one to use a flat VGA screen which fits much better on the bench! Older flat displays that are 4:3 are around and will work just fine with that setup.
Your suggestion of adding an external CF slot is just dandy. When I get around to learning the coding for the 9100 I will track me down one of those extenders.
Thanks,
John :-#)#
