I've toyed with the idea of using one of those rover devices they use for bomb diffusing/disposal to work on it. :lol:
Also, did I tell you I don't do HW? (I'm a SW guy). :shock:

Re: What's in the box - a new retro purchase
Received this kit this morning to build an ISA 8-bit breakout board for the Amstrad PPC640. This will allow me to plug in a XT-IDE, sound and graphics card. A little bit of soldering for this weekend if I can find the time have some other projects to look at first.

Re: What's in the box - a new retro purchase
This dangles off the back. I ideally want one to go inside just for the IDE but decided to just purchase this one to see how it works and think about recreating something inside.
