I really liked DSKY when it came out. I think its a great idea and deserves a respin to update it. It was cool to be able to type in commands and control the SBC. Actually I wish it had more functionality like break-points and single step too. Not sure how that would work but neat any way.

Now that the SBC V2 has moved away from the old PPI interface to PPIDE I think if DSKY could use the PPIDE instead it wouldn't get left behind.

For the upcoming Z80 PPIDE board project (Z80 MBC) my plan is to have both legacy PPI and PPIDE connectors on the board so people can use older DSKYs, PPIDEs, PPISDs, and all the peripherals that were designed for SBC PPI interface in addition to just plugging in a CFIDE adapter board. There were several PPI peripherals as I recall.
