I used to own a 7800. Annoyingly I sold it about 15 years ago. I may fix that with a 7800+ :D

You know you want to :)

@HigashiJun I suppose the Master 128 and X68000 share the same 'need a working battery' otherwise your messing with CMOS/SRAM settings every time you turn it on.

Oh, and their PSU's are guaranteed to need initial work done on them :lol:

Yes, but my X68000 has been completely recapped (including the PSU) and the CMOS battery is new.

Despite my conscience saying 'No' and @rubber_jonnie's wise advise, I am still tempted to get a Beeb Master 128... If the temptation is too strong and my will too weak, I will discover by myself the joys of the Beeb.

:lol:

Still weighing the pros and cons...

(and the cons are heavier).

Such as it's big and bulky and you only have a small space?

Yes, that's one of all the other cons but not a major one though.

Well, it's been a bit of a rubbish week. I've had either a cold/flu/RSV and being diabetic it's knocked me for 6, and I've been off work since Monday afternoon.

When you feel so ill you can't even be bothered to replace a socketed chip in something, it's not good.

Starting to feel better and fingers crossed by this time next week I'll be back to normal as I have to drive to France next weekend.

Have a good rest and enjoy your retro-free time.
