Me too, although whilst it’s in bits I may take the opportunity to socket more of the chips. I’ve decided I’ll remove the RF shield and then put heat sinks on all the chips instead.rubber_jonnie wrote: Sat Sep 09, 2023 4:21 pmLegs and arms too, those are neat machines, so I do hope nothing has gone bang!!!

These arrived very unexpectedly yesterday which was a nice surprise. I wasn’t expecting them till way after Christmas.

Re: PhilCs blog / the latest things hes broken(fixed)
I do have 5 of them, so yes. I'll work out how much they cost to get here, probably around £25 plus postage each.rubber_jonnie wrote: Sun Dec 24, 2023 2:19 pmIf you're interested in parting with one of the C128 boards I'd be interestedPhilC wrote: Sun Dec 24, 2023 1:46 pm These arrived very unexpectedly yesterday which was a nice surprise.

Re: PhilCs blog / the latest things hes broken(fixed)
Also forgot to say that my raspberry pi 5 arrived at the same time. Although right at this moment in time I've no plans to what to do with it as I wasn't expecting it for a month or so yet. maybe I'll replace the Pi4 in the arcade machine with the 5?
