The aim of the MB03+ Ultimate project is to have as much as possible common interfaces in one device
and to run most ZX-compatible software with it without any problem.

But we think it is useful now also to open a discussion
how the MB03+ could be further improved and what other progress could it bring into the Speccy community.

Let us see some proposals:

- FPGA core update: memory mapper
- FPGA core update: video interlace (without screen flickering)
- FPGA core update: sound output via HDMI
- FPGA core update: ZX Blitter (could be a driving force for the next ZX-decade?)
- FPGA core update: interface2/TurboRAM/Dandanator ROM
- FPGA core update: line interrupt register
- FPGA core update: SAM Coupe palette support
- FPGA core update: k-mouse wheel support (modern mice have it and several Speccy programs already support this feature)
- FPGA core update: SID-Blaster/ZX
- FPGA core update: YM2203,YM2612/YM2610/YM2608 sound chips ... https://github.com/jotego/jt12
- FPGA core update: direct core update from SD card, without other PC software

- internal expansion: RS-232, Centronics (plotter and printer support)
- internal expansion: floppy interfaces (universal FPGA add-on to choose between: Betadisk, Didaktik D40/D80, Plus D and Disciple, Diskface, Opus, MB02+...)
- internal expansion: more/special joystick ports
...with connectors located on the adapter between the top and bottom covers of the MB03+ interface.

- hardware accessories: larger (hiqh-resolution) LED display

- software: direct access to PC-FAT formatted CF/SD cards and new BSDOS and ESXDOS for full MB03+ memory and FAT32 + LFN support
