Not sure if any of you have seen this, and if not I'd advise to have a look at this website based on the greatest british console that never was the Konix Multisystem.

I wanted one of these back in 1989, and it was plastered over every magazine. Great to read what it really was, and what actually went on. A cool story I think. Luv sites like this.
I'm still waiting to hear more about the next generation CPC 'Arnold 2' that was mentioned on CPC Zone
Ah! The Konix... I think it eventually boiled down to a controller in the end... Shame!
Wasn't next gen CPC called 'CPCNG' or something along those lines... as far as I know the project never made it off the ground. The Konix Console is briefly covered in the upcoming 'The Book of Arnold', it'll be covered along with the Amstrad GX4000 and Plus models.

Well it was mentioned on the Zone that the Arnold 2 was a new cpc. From memory it was 256k, bigger palette, 6mhz Z80, and used Pcw screen rolling ram. This was data that was going to be put in a book, which also unfortunately went to the dust like the zone :(

Isn't Richard Clayton the only person to have a prototype ANT ("Arnold Number Two") ? anybody want to contact him and ask him more about it? Maybe he has the specs and possibly a photo of the thing?

He talks about it in this interview (http://www.old-computers.com/MAGAZINE/view.asp?r=2&a=16) that I read recently.
I asked Charles for his address. Let's see...
