Well, it looks like both the MFX and the TMS-RGB have both reached Oxford!

Well, the TMS-RGB has arrived. I didn't realise that I'd have to supply my own ribbon cable.

Ahh, good stuff!
My 732 VRMs arrived, but nothing else, and now I'm away until probably Tuesday now, the TRS will have to wait a little longer.
Looking forwards to some writeups on your new hardware :)

Slight issue as the NMOS CPU doesn't reliably reset using the reset keys.

Actually, I was misunderstanding how reset works with this card so it's all fine.
80 column CP/M mode looks nice:

Looks like a great upgrade and even better that you can still close the case afterwards.
