Tested the Mega ST further tonight. Diag cart + YAART + UltraSATAN and games, all good. The mouse needed a bit more work as the DB9 wasn't making good contact making it seem as if the mouse buttons were iffy. Some more contact cleaner and poking a wire down the holes and rubbing the contacts seemed...

Well my wife told me to order 'whatever you want for Christmas' so I have a GD Emu on the way. 😁 There's a lovely Apple II you could order as well... Just stop it!!!! To be fair I just bought a working Electron Mainboard and internal PSU to get my spare one working, so leave me alone :dizzy:
