01/25/2005 Games menu again

You can see now in the list of the games if an individual game has one or more screenshots.

I am actually slowly updating the data base so that more and more games get screenshots (if I have them) and a link to NVG (and ADATE later).

When I will be done with this big update, I will need all the help I can find to add screenshots to the games which are lacking them. I will announce the procedure later for whose willing to help.

01/19/2005 news about the SYMBiFACE II (IDE interface)

Dr.Zed had to do some redesign with planned extended features of SYMBiFACE, it will offer :

• IDE Interface
• 512KB Ram (dktronic compatible)
• 512KB Rom (rewriteable via Software, it's SRam, so its like the RomRam-Box)
• PS2 Mouse connector
• Realtime Clock together with 128B static Ram

The price of the full version will be around 100 Euros, but some parts will be optional. Because of the extended design the release is delayed. The mass production should start in the middle of februar, so you need a little bit more patience.
