Progress at last!

I'm smiling from ear to ear

Happy days indeed!!! The Yellowstone arrived along with the missing PCB for the Altairduino: IMG20240311094920.jpg And I have to say a big thanks to Chris over at Adwaterandstir, as he also dropped in a Nano Kenbak-1. I was not expecting that and it was a very nice surprise. You can see it doing bli...

Well happy days. My Altair part and the Yellowstone are down the road in the main mail centre in Chelmsford, so delivery tomorrow is looking promising. The LumafixC128 is now moving within DHL and the uKenbak-1 looks to be moving within the US daily, so all seems to be good and my visit to parcel pu...

You're showing your age. The 99 Turbo came out in the early 80s. :-) I'm no spring chicken that's for sure... It's a 93 SE LPT (light pressure turbo) model year 01, i.e. late 2000.

Woo hoo!!! :girldance: The Altair PCB and the Yellowstone are showing as down for delivery tomorrow :) The other item I ordered more recently from the same place as the Altair is also moving, though still in the US :) The LumafixC128 is with DHL but there are no updates, but it is at least shipped. ...

Very overpriced IMHO.

You can get an RD-50A for less than £20 and they are more than up to the job.

What model SAAB is it out of curiosity?

I have a vague remembrance of the 99 Turbo coming to the UK, it seemed to be somehow magical and all the car magazines were talking about it.
