Happy to have a case and SD card, feel free to copy the card when it arrives obviously.

Then postage three ways I guess?
If it ain't broke, test it to Destruction.

OK, but let me speak to the seller about combined postage and I'll get back to you.

@alexh Any ideas what you want? It'll make it easier when I speak to the seller over on the Enterprise forum if I know what everyone wants.

And first upgrade is done:

Lets see if the onboard RAM is OK:

Then I can get on with the RAM upgrade and hope that the CPU is OK.

I dare you to upgrade the CPU to a Z80B and swap the crystal for a 12MHz one. ;-)
Intro retro computers since before they were retro...
ZX81->Spectrum->Memotech MTX->Sinclair QL->520STM->BBC Micro->TT030->PCs & Sun Workstations.
Added code to the MiNT kernel (still there the last time I checked) + put together MiNTOS.
Collection now with added Macs, Amigas, Suns and Acorns.

If I can find a Z80B perhaps...

Of course I can replace the crystals with one of my oscillator boards, maybe even have switchable frequencies since the board will output 3.
