Me too, I loved the Goodies :)

Where did you order them from?
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.

It's a 1N4735 Zener (6.2v) but don't worry I've ordered some from elsewhere which will hopefully arrive tomorrow or Friday.

As always the offer is appreciated 😁
