@VintageProject Yes, being a 6502 (rather than Z80), the schematic is different but I took a quick look and they are both 39-pin backplanes and the pin assignment is virtually the same for both.
The can be built as an SBC (as I initially did) but also has a range of modules (including a clock board) to build it up on a backplane.
Nowhere near as sophisticated as the but then I come from a #6502 background (still have the ) and wanted to build it as a machine.

@retroreggie I just had a look at the schematic of the . It at least looks similar, not the same, though.
The clocks are on the bus, indeed. That's where your separate back plane can feed a clock signal to the SBC, much like the does with its clock module.

@VintageProject If I am not mistaken, the shares a backplane layout with the so yes, the clock is there and could be fed externally.

Perhaps someone wiser than I on these things could confirm.

@VintageProject This is the I built. It has a W65C02 in it (required for ). I initially only built the SBC with a 1MHz xtal but added a backplane with power i/p. The Vero fudge-board has an 8MHz xtal & dividers but it will only run up to 4MHz (for now). is lightning fast at that speed though.

@VintageProject Or in fact build new stuff :-) Good luck with the
I have just built it’s little cousin the (first machine I worked on was CP/M) and also an (ported onto it to learn )
