I read some while back about the PC Ditto II and the new Spectre GCR by Gadgets. I was wondering if anyone has heard anymore about these products and maybe when they might be available. I have a few friends who are very willing to buy a Mega 2 if they can get the Spectre GCR and I am really awaiting the time when I will be able to do PC emulation at speeds upwards (or should I say quicker than) the horrible 1.5 MHz that the originial PC ditto runs at. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Roman Baker Univerisity of California, Santa Cruz

Spectre 1.9 is currently shipping which offers beta sound support. GCR will be shown at the World of Atari this weekend but will not be ready for sale until June/July. It will carry a reported and still rumored price of $299 with a $75 trade-in for current owners of Spectre. PC-Ditto II is now in mass production and should be ready for sale at the same time as GCR for the same price, $150 discount coupons will be sent to current pc-ditto registered users sometime very soon.

Several people in the U.K., following an STZMAG posting on a BBS have sent off registration cards to the PC-Ditto people, hoping to get in on the exchange upgrade path. To date they have received no reply. Does anyone know if the PC-Ditto discount coupons will be made available to non-U.S. owners?
