One more incentive to sort the keyboard on my NC100...and try it on my Psion 3a/c...
The NC100 definitely makes for a portable solution!
Yep, you better get on it 😁

The Psion 5MX is a decent terminal for this sort of thing.
One thing I haven't managed to get hold of yet.

If you do get one, be increadibly careful opening and closing it. The plastic on mine has become extremely brittle and the strong springs which snap the clamshell open and closed have shattered the plastic. Thankfully I've hacked it back together. The plastic degradation has also fused the screws into the plastic so there's no way of dismantling the machine without the case destroying itself.

Hi,
I got an Amstrad NC100 from eBay, the seller said it did not power up.
On examining the power section of the board the fuse had not blown.
I noticed that the ROM chip had pin 17 crushed an not connected to the socket. So I straightened IC Pin and refitted the ROM chip.
All working now...
