Yes, GEM 1, so it's close to the Atari version with overlapping Windows etc.

Technically it's not "For PC" as the Apricot FP isn't an IBM-PC compatible, but it is running MSDOS 2.11 underneath.

I've just seen a posting pointing to this project: https://github.com/openscopeproject/InteractiveHtmlBom

Looks like it could be very useful.

IIRC the Analog V2 boards I built for my Apple IIe had interactive HTML BoMs and it was just brilliant, both for ordering/tracking parts and also during the build.

More of this sort of thing would be very welcome.

Nice, is RMC close to you, or is it a grand day out?

I presume you'll be having a good look round whilst you're there?

The Cave is about 1.5 hours away, so not really close.

I've been before, when @terriblefire did a talk at another Patron's day. It's a nice space and in the afternoon you get to go downstairs to the arcade archive and play on the arcade machines.
