OK, I found one on Ali Express, solder type, but it'll do the trick. Wish I'd looked there first, but hey ho, it says it'll be here in a week, so a bit more waiting.

Honestly it's absolutely fine, I really have no issues building up my toolkit 😁

OK, so the adapter has left China, and Royal Mail says it's notified, so fingers crossed it'll be here relatively soon.

Splendid, the adapter is in the UK and through customs, so hopefully it'll be here by the weekend :D

Royal Mail now have it and expect to deliver tomorrow :)

@stephen_usher It seems my adapter is also at the Midlands Super Hub, so maybe rubbing shoulders with your packages :)

Quick test done with the old Nand and it's programmed just fine. I read the contents and did a quick compare and they do look off, so fingers crossed it is just the Nand.

I wanted to do a test, firstly to see if I could read the old one and re-program as @wub can keep it spare, but also for a test of soldering onto the adapter, which went extremely well, so geared up now for doing the new Nand later tonight :)
