Save this picture for all those wallies who chirp up on YooToob & various forums with the old 'axials don't leak' nonsense!

Final conclusion:
- 2 shorted pins on the MCU
- 4 traces eaten by axial cap

Thanks to all who pushed me in the right direction!!

Yeah, I did say better sealed. It doesn't mean that they never leak. Having said that I've not seen one do it in person, though I've seen large numbers of radials do so.
Intro retro computers since before they were retro...

Added code to the MiNT kernel (still there the last time I checked) + put together MiNTOS.

@Lynxman ... has upgrade pcb´s to put the 2MB to 8MB so you can have 10MB total ST Ram.
