As it happens tonight I got round to dumping some other EPROMs I had for someone else and one of them was an SGS2532 which read fine as an MCM2532 so I know the machine works with that age of chip. All my CBM ones give the same results so I'm assuming they're dead. Thinking about it there may be some 2532s at work so I can try burning a PET tester. I saw the madrigaldesign adapter on Friday but after re-re-remaking the one I was working on yesterday it was beginning to look a bit rough around the edges :) Cheers, -- Adrian/Witchy Binary Dinosaurs creator/curator Www.binarydinosaurs.co.uk - the UK's biggest private home computer collection?
