Kaleidoscope

The ‘Kaleidoscope’ was the example application of the Hardware Development Kit which was sold in the press as “Allowing 32768 colours” but in reality was just a tinkerers toy with resistors pulling down the RGB lines on the output.

As for the Meg - depends whether you had one or not really :)

The 800kB RamDisc was very, very useful as a virtual second drive for copying discs via the BACKUP command.

I modified many programs like Sam C to use the Ram disc for holding the libraries for compilation which was ace.
