I only reversed engineered it enough to get a functional model for VICE.

It only has a couple PLDs that may be reversible. There was that team of people who did it for the supercpu and that is a far more complex device. I can certainly tell you about the functionality and perhaps with the schematics you can infer the function of the PLDs to make a proper replica.

Is there a link or blog post or would you mind sharing more about the devices and your reverse engineering?  A few folks have contacted me at times in their quest to reverse engineer the RD, but I thought the RL was a CMD-designed product.
