Ok, so you were right, I should have been further ahead.

I changed the MFP with a new one, no difference.

Changed the BAD-DMA for an IMP one and then this happened.
The dma I used before came from my Mega, so I know it works, just doesn't like the STF then.

Sweet! So Icky should be at that point when he does the RW mod..

Don't know why the DMA would stop it booting though..

Can you move the mouse ?

Nope, sorry won't move on mine.

Incidentally, it won't boot with the keyboard connected unless the earth on pin 8 is connected.

bummer :( Take it you did the GLUE fixes also ?

Yeah I did the glue fixes quickly before going to Burnley.

Does the pointer move if you use the keyboard shortcuts instead of the mouse?

Sorry Pete, newbie on the ST here, what are the keyboard shortcuts?

Congrats on getting the first stable desktop picture.

Am still travelling so will update later tonight.

I have a feeling we are going to tracking the peripherals next as my keyboard, mouse and floppy have not responded during any of tests

You know, I think you might be right. :D

Hold down the Alt key and use the cursor keys. Alt-Insert is mouse button 1 and Alt-Clr/Home is button 2
