Might be prudent to blur it or something - otherwise any jealous retro collector might know where to expand their collection at your expense!

Ok, just to let the genie out of the bottle, I have an Super Colour CPU Card for the 400 :)

I'm struggling a bit for time this weekend though as having to work :(

More to follow.
