QIMSI sorted out but found out my SuperGold Card replica from Tetroid is playing up. Plug it in and I get red and green stripes on the screen. Done some googling and looks like red and green stripes are memory issues so will need to look into that on the supergold board.

EDIT: bit of a Sinclair day today as the QL box was out and have various versions of Spectrums. All are working bar one an issue 2 16K upgraded to 48K and the plus case. Looks like the lower ram is failing. Have ordered some more and this one is going to have vLA82S+ Spectrum ULA Replacement with RGB interface and AY Emulator fitted as well.

Something for the TT as an early Christmas present. I have @mrbombermillzy to blame for showing his ATW800/2 at the Cyber Legends 4 and peaking my interest.

Great to see you with an ATW card Icky, welcome to the club :) I've been using the card and software for a while now so feel free to ask if you get stuck on anything.

Great to have another ATW user on the forum!

I'm still aiming to get round to spending more time on mine (at some point relatively soon) so having more people to share their experiences will be great.

I'm hoping to get one at some point too, not sure if I'll go for VME or Megabus at present though.

Have 2 of them (VME and Mega ST) and I really don't regret the investment.

Its definitely an interesting piece of hardware.

I hope you intend to tinker at some point. :)

I'm wondering about buying a second board to put in my other Mega (when I've swapped the current memory upgrade for the Exxos one so that the Mega bus isn't blocked) so I can more easily connect it to soem external Transputer cards at soem point...apparently the first batch need some mods to allow this to work.

However I've lots to try and do with the board before that becomes a limitation so I'll follow all progress with great interest.
