I'm with Al on this, why recreate a old piece of test equipment when it
should be very simple for the talented minds of this mailing list to
create a much more powerful device.

-Bigger/better RAM/ROM checker (why limited to 3 eprom sizes?)

-Keep the Signature analyzer (need it for the Cinematronics stuff too)

-What else can we add? The state machine input/output idea of Als' is
interesting.

I'm interested but only in a Super Cat Box.
