Now that would be weird if the HM Customs had packed it with glitter :)

Am glad to have finally got the Blitter and its now installed

Thats my biggest fear. Not fired it up yet as am just putting back in temporary reset circuit.

Very happy to see you chose RGBW :D

Its akin to getting new fish for the tank and leaving them in the bag to acclimate them to the new environment. Put it in and let it acclimate for 12 hours. Sprinkle more non conductive glitter on it every three hours. :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: Then you can apply power.

Had to create a makeshift reset circuit as I am in the process of testing out the new reset chip when it arrives today.

However it lived which is a relief as I didn't want to order another and pay more charges.

Yeah but its a bit of a double / triple decker. That 1772 buffer board needed a stack of DIL sockets to get it level and stable.

This is what happens when developers are turned loose to develop in an area with no zoning laws. Complete chaos!! If I'm going to use my ultra satan and the 1772 buffer card I figure I will need 12 sockets to clear the ultra satan connector card. Where will it end! :) :) :)

Maybe with a 4th floor extension? An internal port for the ultrasatan unf*cked on top of the other unf*ck board?
