The main chip and two caps are still missing though but should be delivered soon.

Pins will have to be soldered too.
Nice. I have an Econet module in my A5000, but want to sort something out to connect it to my home network.

I am still waiting for the EPROMs to arrive in order to burn RISC OS 3.11 and check everything works as it should.

Nice work, looking forwards to the results once you get the ROMs sorted out.

(and the dust collected on my desk too :lol: )

Well, it's just the supervisor prompt but keep in mind I had only a black screen as greetings when I purchased the machine.

I should have more time tomorrow to connect the keyboard and perform a "DEL" + power on start.
