Luckily, the shed is starting to look accessible. So I think I can get to the multimeter now.
I believe I had the same 'fingers crossed' moment (polarity wise) when getting a Jaguar PSU.
In the meantime, I'm sure I have an RGB out lead (or more likely a repurposed 'other' lead) somewhere that needs digging out now.
@rubber_jonnie: Yep. Well, you've now posted in the correct place as this is actually an Ebay purchase thread!
I'm surprised you haven't had a go on that MSX yet.
Look what Ive just nabbed off Ebay...

Re: Look what Ive just nabbed off Ebay...
I have played with it and it's a great machine, but nothing beyond basic as yet, and it's been a bit harder to find an SD cart for than my other stuff.
For example, the TI99/4a and Dragon, I was able to get joystick adapter, SD carts and RAM expansions all from one place in the UK. The MSX cart is coming from Slovakia.
It is the last thing I need a cart for though, but I do need to revisit my card for the Mattel Aquarius as whilst it can read the contents of a USB stick, I can't run anything.

@rubber_jonnie I'll send you a carnivore PCB if you want? I am going to build one but had to order 5 from JLC.
If it ain't broke, test it to Destruction.

That would be cool sir, thanks very much! You have my address I believe, can I offer you anything for costs?

Re: Look what Ive just nabbed off Ebay...
Ooh! Ive just had a box delivered! Whats in the box then?
So, lots of nice stuff for £15; MIDI interface 2 long MIDI leads, various other leads, a graphics tablet and parts, but my main interest is this:
I still cannot believe that I managed to pick up such a rare item. Did it slip under everyones radar, or do people not care for this sort of thing any more?
What is it, you ask? Its a HAM-E framebuffer board for the Amiga.
The only problem, is that info is so scarce, that I have no idea what sort of PSU is needed....lets try to investigate:
Ok, lid has come off and it doesnt look TOO bad inside. If we look at the addon board a bit closer:
It seems that this is the hi-res version (HAM-E+). Yay! It gets better though:
Thats exactly what I needed to know.
Now its just a case of finding a 10v PSU and trying it out (I have downloaded drivers/utils already). Wish me luck that its not a DOA part!
More news soon...
