New (and last ?) inbound

Ok, so I'm back home for 1 or 2 days and here's a little update.

Since I don't want to completely remove the flaky RF shield, I made an opening for the future RTC:

It will be now easier to fit it and also replace its coin battery.

Just hope to receive all the missing bits soon so I can finish this project.

You're a bad influence 🤣

I've been looking for one of these now 😁

Surprised how expensive they are.

Sorry, I don't do that on purpose...

;)

I know, I can't help myself...

:lol:

You won't regret if you manage to get one.

The machine itself does not cost so much, but the shipping fees and all the extra import/export duty fees are really prohibitive.

Well, if I can find one in the UK it would just be the shipping and fingers crossed that wouldn't be too bad, but yes, they are two killer fees for sure.

Trouble is the cheapest one on eBay is £340 and that I find excessive.

And that one doesn't look so good...

No, it looks pretty crummy...

Argh, I'm a stupid idiot...

I have just realised the IC chip where I made the opening is not the BIOS chip. :headbang:

Never trust information found over the Internet without checking twice.

Ahh, how annoying!

Ahh, how annoying!

Yes, quite...

I will survive this tragedy though.

Glad to hear it :)
