Aaaand, the + has just died on me again. Not voltage related this time, but it seems there is a memory issue, as I just get onscreen garbage.

I wondered if the RAM was bad, but swapping out for known good made no difference, and the ULA works in in the spares board.

Ahh, the joys of retro computing...

Memory transceiver then?
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.

Honestly, if I can get the spares board going, the + board is history, and my speccy diag cart is in the post :)
