Hi all
New around these parts.
I recently discovered my Falcon after a house move, and decided to boot it up and play some old favourites :D
Having brought back some fond memories, it now sits next to my Mac and PC in my office, and I jump on it when not working ;)
Hooked up to a 19" TFT using a VGA adaptor, and looks better than ever. Fan is on it's last legs and the RTC is up the spout, so I hope to replace those this weekend.....wish me luck :D

Welcome on board!
Always good to have another Falcon back in regular use!

Re: Hi All
Welcome back!
Feel free to post a photo of your setup. I love seeing them!
Don't be afraid to ask for here for advice before changing the fan and NVRAM. It's not hard, but there are a few nuances you may want to know and there's no such thing as a silly question. :)

Re: Hi All
Well, for some reason, everything seems to be quite in the world of IT support today, so I will probably do the fan and NVRAM this afternoon :)
Just so I am 100% on this, I reset the NVRAM BEFORE I do the install?

Re: Hi All
You "reset" it after you have fitted it with with one of the reset programs which sets it up with all default values.avctech wrote: 21 Aug 2020 11:35 Just so I am 100% on this, I reset the NVRAM BEFORE I do the install?
