Martin,

although I must confess that since Ruud announced his Resurrection my

>helped in this respect even more).

yes i can understand that perfectly well
there is no question that no longer  being able to say the R40 is the strongest
computer ever released for sale, must have some negative impact on its value and
desireablilty

>your first module too?

actually and to be honest i dont know how this will work
i have seen photos of the Ressurection module motherboard and i am fairly
certain Ruud is using Eprom technology

my understanding is that upgrades will be available as program modifications
direct into the eprom via a serial cable
if so,how would one get the old program back into the eprom?
believe me i do not look forward to having to acquire two module sets ,because
as you well know these are not inexpensive modules,but it is more important in
my opinion to preserve the first version then the cost of buying another for
upgrades

but you have the best approach
a patient and waiting approach is best for now

As Always..
My Best
Steve
