Oh dear...tomorrow is the summer solstice and this is only the second post on this blog this year...
Anyway, the main reasons for the lack of posts is the recovery from a slipped disc just after Christmas followed by orders from "the boss" to relocate the vast majority of my retro computer/synth hoard ('junk' was the very inaccurate and harsh terminology used by my dear wife...) from the study to the garage...which needed a lot of other stuff in the garage to be sorted first.
While not yet finished, I do now have a lot of the working STF/M's relocated in boxes into the garage & a few systems to fix still in the study (but in a much more organised fashion...so they are allowed to stay for now at least).
So, I'm almost ready to fix the STE systems I managed to break/bought already broken & then get back onto fixing the STF/Ms plus H4/H5 boards & various upgrades from exxos.
Yay - almost 6 months later than planned but that seems to be the norm. Sigh.
Also managed to pick up another working STFM for a reasonable price (and it is working, with a 2meg memory upgrade for good measure! - just a mangled case and one key missing from the keyboard), so one of the broken systems will probably become the donor for the H5C1 when that finally arrives.
Aiming to get another one of the STEs fixed & then try the dual TOS upgrade plus an accelerator...hopefully before Christmas!
That might even become a new year's resolution!
