    Freeware instead, hhmm like GNU free software foundation.

 KC> More important will be the graphics and sound, and will it use carts,

    Actually the processor is important you want something EASY
    to develope for.  Otherwise you'll have a lovely machine that
    poeple HATE programing.  I'd rather have weak audio and video
    capability and have a good solid system to program.

 KC> or will it have a disc drive ? Take a look at some of the TI graphics

    To answer your question, both.

 KC> processors. They have a processor, dram control and video timing all in
 KC> one chip. Just add video DACS, sound chip, glue including jostick

    Hmmm I contact TI and ask for a spec book (or buy it).
