Once again my mouse hand has restricted movement!

Jon, the only animal that is able to herd cats is the Chihuahua seen here protecting the wife from one of those pesky felines.

In other news, the H5 arrived too

Jon, shall I alert the burn ward at the hospital in your area?

Well I have to say the stuff I ordered a little over a week ago arrived today. I really didn't expect that but hey GREAT JOB POSTAL WORKERS on both sides of the pond!

Not really an issue of @rubber_jonnie breaking his finger. However burnt fingers are always a possiblity when Jon and the infamous soldering iron are in the same room.

I'm sure you will get it sorted rubber_jonnie . Just remember your soldering iron is akin to a pitbull and can turn on ya in a microsecond. :) Hopefully this year will be better than last. Getting a severe case of cabin fever here but at least I have all these toys to keep me busy. Happy new year. :...

Well, looks like I jumped the gun a bit with the RAM expansion. I just realised that sysinfo reports 4MB, but shows only 721KB available once booted.

Sold all but one which I added a blister to and an Exxos 4 meg solder in memory card.. If your mega's were well abused in a past life...

Didn't see that. I've been spending most of my time on a SWTPC S+ attempting to get UniFlex running and getting my Arse kicked severely. Not a lot of info on UniFlex and most things have to be learned by experimentation. Ya, looks like your postal is pretty screwed up.

exxos , do you know if your shipping is still functioning as it was. On the national news here in the US they are showing a lot of countries refusing GB flights, the French have closed the tunnel, and people are fleeing Londons shutdown. Is this having a impact on your shipping? Whats your outlook ...

I am assuming your using one of Exxos's supplies. I have one in my mega that works great. However when I first installed it the 5v was fine but the 12V's was 8 volts. Computer ran but real floppy didn't. Come to find out I had the primary windings in series (EU power). Rewiring for parallel primary ...
