Any chance you could get info on the RP02 clone? I found the fact that
they used something like that as a disk rather interesting. I'm curious as
to if it used a disk pack or a fixed disk.
With the emulators that are now available, it would be really cool if PULSE
could be made publically available. I've no idea as to who owns the rights
to it though (don't know if the book indicates, I've not delved deep in it
yet).
