Another possibility @rubber_jonnie!
Didn't get chance last night as the dog started wailing so she had me watching another Dr Who episode with her while she settled herself for the night (in the lounge)...
Fortunately my good lady wife knew about it so I get some brownie points for comforting the dog rather than losing them for my retro activities!
Good to get additional brownie points, that's for sure Hope you both enjoyed your Dr Who
Collector of many retro things!
800XL and 65XE both with Ultimate1MB,VBXL/XE & PokeyMax, SIDE3, SDrive Max, 2x 1010 cassette, 2x 1050 one with Happy mod, 3x 2600 Jr, 7800 and Lynx II
Approx 20 STs, including a 520 STM, 520 STFMs, 3x Mega ST, MSTE & 2x 32 Mhz boosted STEs
Plus the rest, totalling around 50 machines including a QL, 3x BBC Model B, Electron, Spectrums, ZX81 etc...

Yes, probably good to get all the points I can.
She was dozing...it was one of the few I managed to watch when it was first broadcast but good to watch it in conjunction with the rest of the series this time round.

So, just in time for the long Easter weekend...and what looks to be some poorer weather (meaning I won't necessarily be n the garden for most of the time!) I have a new arrival...
It's the latest ST remake board version, the H5C5B.
I'll start a new thread about my (lack of) progress with this one, but initially I will probably end up borrowing many of the custom chips etc. from one of the H5C boards with a non-working floppy drive.

Ok, ok - I've opened the box & seen the warning about the audio op amp...
I'll start putting the parts I do have together in the morning and see what shortages will stop me assembling it for a first power-up (at some point)."Probably in 2027 or 2028"

Edit by PhiC
Cheeky! (but very funny too, so all is fine with me, though it might be ambitious to only give me 3 years to sort it)

@JezC would you like me to take a look at those H5s with the floppy problem?
Possibly, though I was wondering about bringing them down to CL4 as a fix-it challenge (and ask anybody with a working H5C if they could bring one as a reference)...then I gave in & ordered the new board anyway <facepalm>
Thanks for the offer anyway, it's appreciated.
I might continue the discussion via PM if that's OK?
Hope you both enjoyed your Dr Who
