I'll have to be careful the next time I visit you, so I dont get any other ideas then. At least not until I've learnt this one first

That reminds me @PhilC how is the CPC464

@Icky it's still sat in its box, waiting to be tinkered with. I need to
The wife has filled the geek room full of other random stuff at the moment during the Christmas holiday. I need to get my geek space back.

Re: PhilCs blog / the latest things hes broken(fixed)
First job of the evening was to change the RTC battery in the logic analyzer. Doing this did give me a good opportunity to have a poke around inside. Considering how old it is, theres next to no dust inside, so either its hardly been used or it's been well looked after, so that's a bonus.
Still got to learn how to use it properly. I was testing it out by putting one of the probes on /reset and another on the 8mhz clock signal on my H4. I think I've got the sample speed a little high it ran out of memory before doing a complete 1hz sample of the oscillator. Best look that bit up next.
Once I've got it all set slow enough for my H4 I'll post a few screenshots. Itll also output to postscript files too, so just need to work out how to convert those to a useful format.
Still, I'm pretty happy all things considered.
Must also get the last of the resistors in place on my second H4 and get that ip and running. Maybe Tomorrow?

How about this site for the PS conversion? https://www.ps2pdf.com/
Intro retro computers since before they were retro...
ZX81->Spectrum->Memotech MTX->Sinclair QL->520STM->BBC Micro->TT030->PCs & Sun Workstations.
Added code to the MiNT kernel (still there the last time I checked) + put together MiNTOS.
Collection now with added Macs, Amigas, Suns and Acorns.
