I was browsing the internet looking for info on the MVME101 and 68000 for a project (rebuilding a MVM101 or MEX68kECB in Kicad) when I came accross a page on www.verycomputer.com. I''m interested in teh software you described there, but it is nowhewre to be found. Except for the same entry here! Do you still have the software and other information, and if yes, are you willing to share? Thanks in advance,
Robert
