I'm desperately seeking information about this chip.

It is a custom #Psion RS232 IC used in the Series 3c, codenamed CONDOR.

If you were involved in the development of the 3c or knew someone who worked for Psion around 1994-1997 who might have been involved, please get in touch.

We want to emulate this chip in #MAME so that it can be added to the existing Psion SIBO hardware #emulation.

This could also help with 3mx serial emulation.

Exactly 14 years since the Deepwater Horizon disaster and the massive oil spill that followed, and the seabed there shows little sign of recovery.

We have to stop thinking that nature is just going to clean up our messes, and focus much more on how to prevent them in the first place. Not just the acute ones like this, but also the slower more insidious ones that are easy to ignore.

There is no "Away" where we can just put all the mess - it's all our own backyard.
