The web store is currently running, but it will not accept orders for the time being. People can browse and add items into their basket only. This is in preparation that people can get orders ready in preparation for whenever the store goes online again. When it does go online, I'll make a announcement in this thread and as before, it will only go online for a brief period of time.

Great news, I shall prepare a shopping list!

It will be fun if 2 people order the same item when there is only 1 in stock :) the store should cope with that situation but I do not think it had much testing in that respect. In theory it should be "first-come first-served" basis. I was suggest people refresh their basket before checkout to make sure nothing has gone out of stock before a actual order happens (when the store goes back online that is) .

TBH I'm after one of these: https://www.exxosforum.co.uk/atari/store2/#0035 of which you seem to have 49 in stock, so I think I'll be ok :). Will have to wait until payday anywa though, which is next Friday, as I've already likely exceeded my agreed gadget budget for this month, though to be fair I've not spent much money on anything else because of lockdown!

Ah, 28 68k sockets in stock, where did I put the CC.

Not starting to hoard these are you @PhilC ? ;)

Maybe I should order a couple for H4 #2 (and maybe #3 if I can ever afford it)...before there is no stock left :lol:

@JezC I dont know what gives you that idea.

I socket all my board cpus and have a few Megabus to 68k adaptors to build but even I dont need 28 this week.

I've got a couple more tubes here and a potential source for some more, so hopefully they won't run out.

@PhilC Only joking...honest!

Good idea to socket the CPUS...but if I did that to all my ST's there wouldn't be many of those 28 sockets left - good to know @exxos has extra somewhere :thumbup:

I do like your Megabus adaptors too...something (else) to consider for some future projects :)

I have put a small number in my basket to cover H4 #2 at least though I noticed the number showing as in stock didn't go down :?

should I tube up some more sockets are people going to be ordering a lot of them ?
