Looks like I'll be getting a Mega ST4 soon

@PhilC I'm honestly not surprised, I've seen a few long legs like that on both my Megas, and straightened a few along the way. The quality of these machines is certainly low.

Glad you found it nice and quickly, and another case of mechanical problems causing electronic chaos.

@rubber_jonnie it gave me the excuse to clean up a few other dirty looking soldered joints whilst I was at it, sows worth the effort.

But as you say quality is lacking on Megas. Wonder if they were made at different assembly line?

[rubber_jonnie]

@PhilC Makes you wonder if they were all made on a Friday.

It's a bit weird, the Mega 1 I have seems to be much better quality than the Mega 4.

Glad you have both sorted the problems with your respective Megas...hoping that my Mega 4 doesn't decide to develop any of these annoying quirks anytime soon!

I'm keep my fingers crossed for you!

Thanks - managed to fire up my Falcon to test Monkey Island 2 so I need to test the spare 4M RAM cad I bought for the second H4 at some point.

Still waiting on some other shortages before I can build the first one even though even when they arrive, I'm sure there will be something else I am still missing...

Just make sure to seal the case on your Mega 4 now & use that upgrade on your Mega 1 instead!

[rubber_jonnie]

Yeah, that memory upgrade is looking like it's destined for the Mega 1.

I decided to have a bit of a tidy up in celebration, here is the Mega 4 running YAART:

I came back a few hours later and it was a happy bunny.

Today has been a good day
