In order for BMX to be released, the following must be done:


Memory Expansion Board
----------------------
 There is a PC error that must be fixed. 

 PC must generate a useable parts list.


MultiSync
---------
 If BMX is to use the DSPLINK Board, the MultiSync board must be changed.

 The plan is to change the SCOM Interrupt and replace Slapstic with
 Pat's  GAL6001. If these are the only changes, the board will remain
 compatible with Steel Talons and Street Driver. It could also be used
 in Panorama if a GAL6001 can be programmed to behave like a Slapstic 115.

 A new version will have to be created (MultiSync II), documented, and 
 checked. 


ADSP II
-------
 If BMX is to use the ADSP II Board, a new version must be documented.

 If BMX is to use a partially loaded DS III Board, we have to:
    1. Correct the existing Rev 1 Board;
    2. Create an appropriate parts list;
    3. Build and test two DS II RAM Boards so Bonnie can continue development.
        (Both her ADSP II Boards have RAM boards which can only be used with
         ADSP II Boards.)


DSPLINK
-------
  If Bonnie is planning on using it, it has to be released. I don't know if 
  PC has a useable parts list yet.


Motor and Fan Amp
-----------------
The board will have to work.
