Gnu here....this is the promised TNC wishlist.

John Gilmore, 401-1/2 Clayton St, SF, CA 94117 415-864-2891 "GNU"

Wish List for a new Terminal Node Controller board

(1) 8 bytewide memory sockets (28-pin) with addressing jumpers or prom flexible enough for 16K, 32Kp or 64Kbit chip use. it should be possible to mix sizes as long as you don't mind holes in your address space; better would be random mix without holes. Please, Please, get rid of the 2708's and go with 5 volt only chips.

(2) One or two LED numerals, or a set of LED lights, on the board. For displaying the status of the soft ware/hardware.
