Good idea @stephen_usher. You never know what machine may need some diagnosis / bodging.

How about I organise a 'Fastest bad DMA fix' race?

I could line up some faulty STe machines in front of each of you and you guys could race to see who could repair theirs first.

(The winner gets a job in the Foxconn factory in China! :lol: )

What time should we aim to arrive by? (i.e. what time is the venue open for us to set up?)
