I was wondering if anyone would be interested trying to reproduce these. I have a sig analyzer already (HP5004A) but that wouldn't help with the memory checking and the buffer checking and as the 244 and 245's are often suspect the CB really could come in handy.

        With my "Exorcisor on a chip" project pretty much done, I'm
willing to take on a "CAT Box on a chip" (or three, given that you said
there's a 6502 and a ROM on there) project.

        Are you able to scan in the docs and schematic?
