I think, it was always ICE, which was used on the Thor range, even on the XVI.

Sorry gents, been a busy period at work so the Thor has been overlooked.

All the parts I wanted have arrived, replacement sockets new RTC and diodes so hopefully
I have now got time to have a play over the weekend and see what I can get sorted

OK, so been a while but I have got the CST Thor out for a weekend of work!

Floppy drives are now back in! Yet to be tested though.

Next came the battery corrosion, I thought the sockets maybe were hiding some damage and boy
were they, so out they come!

Time to replace

Will also be replacing the caps and crystals as well, photos later!

Following with interest - my Thor is nicely etched like this too. I stopped it progressing but I haven't repaired everything. It boots, but can't get the display image out.
