I like the front panel too, but it doesn't really have the functionality to do anything useful. It is missing the examine_next, deposit_next, and start_at_address functions that are pretty much essential, and are available in the PROM monitor. It's handy to have a front panel to debug the hardware when things aren't working, and in that sense the 680 front panel is more useful than the one on the 8800, which requires a functioning CPU to do anything.

Geoff.
