Thanks! 😀 It's indeed a beautiful design!

While not the most memorable Olivetti's design it still oozes Italian good taste if compared with contemporary American things.

Except the Thinkads that were co-designed by Richard Sapper and Marco Zanuso. The latter famous for designing things like the Brionvega TS502

The former for the the Artemide Tizio lamp

I absolutely love Italian design, hence I have this MV Agusta F4-RR 312 1078, by Massimo Tamburini standing in my lounge!

For various reasons I never owned a big iron bike.

But speaking about design, back on the days (1982), my (not so) humble 50cc Gringo Cimatti, had something to say (design by Giulia Moselli).

Very COOL! 😀

It now has the latest BIOS revision and the Numerical Processing Unit's now registering!

I’ll only replace the additional RAM chips once they’ve been tested and confirmed to be working.

Yeah, I noticed in the ROM distribution of 86Box that the latest ROM BIOS version of the Olivetti M24 (and by extension the M21) is version 1.44.

Does anybody know the release notes and/or changelog between version 1.43 and 1.44? Thanks!
