Re: Quick Disassembly Question

I think that's the insulation thing that is normally pressed/glued against the RF shield that covers the ULA on mdv1_ (the other drive doesn't have one).

Re: Today I Received...

Today I received... this industrial ISA 486 Single Board Computer. I took a chance as the previous owner couldn't get it to display anything but fortunately was able to get it working very easily (by changing the RTC module and fiddling with the RAM socket connectors).

Re: Thor 8 with no keyboard

Both those Thors on ebay went for a lot (not to me)! £1,020 for the model in nicer cosmetic condition with the 2 FDDs and £675 for the single FDD model with signs of corrosion. That's more than I thought they'd go for.
