Seems to be pretty decent build quality and it does exactly what it says on the tin :)

Cool! Be sure to join the ATW Discord channel for any support, or just ask me if you get stuck.

I'm sure I won't, I've been waiting for something to plug into the VME bus on my MSTE for a long time!

So, the ATW800/2 will be posted on Monday :)

In the meantime I've also got this coming:

I already have one BBC B with one of these installed, but I decided my other spare BBC could do with some love and this came up pretty cheap. It will need to wait a bit though as I want to fix the issues with the floppy interface first, so the Sidewise board will go in once that is done.

My main BBC B has sidewise too, but in a different way, all done with Boo Bip add ons from Mr Morley :)
