I have a Doug Hall unit and radio(s) if you need for testing.

Good morning Dave!
Thank you for volunteering !!!?
The C64 Rom project is very close to what we need, you can find the schematic here: .?
The schematic for the original Xcat is here:?/g/xcat/files/XCat%20files/xcat-schematic.PDF.?
I'll get started on generating a new schematic.
So questions for all that are interested:
Do we still need RS232 level converters for the serial port?? My opinion is NO, 3v3 levels and an FTDI USB cable for a PC connection.
Do we still need Doug Hall support?? If so we will need level converters for that interface.? Personally I'd like to drop it, I don't have any way to test it.
What did we miss on the original Xcat that we can add now?? One request I remember is support for 64 modes, that should be no problem for the new board.
My idea for the Xcat 2022 is for it to be a completely open source project including the firmware and PCB.?
If someone wants to build one themselves, great!
If someone wants to kit it up and sell a kit then have at it (it won't be me!).
If someone wants to sell built and tested boards more power to them (that wont be me either!).
