I bought my Sam in Feb 1990 - very early on one of the chips went funny so
the picture occasionally went black and white.  I got this replaced shortly
after SamCo appeared and I'd got my v3 Rom.

Since then I've had no trouble whatsoever.  Hmm, a slight lie, my disk drive
was playing up for a while, but taking it out and plugging it back in again
eventually seemed to solve that problem, it's right as rain again now.

Perhaps I've just been extremely lucky.

Mine still does that black & white thing, and I had it replaced once,
back in the day. Should this worry me greatly?

Is your picture clear enough?  I borrowed a Haupage TV card but couldn't get
a decent picture, as tho the signal wasn't strong enough.  It was when I was
fiddling with the controls in my PSU that I broke something, which is why my
normal TV picture is streaky and blurred now!  The normal TV picture was
great on it...

btw Dave, any idea what's happened to my Persona order?  It's been about a
month and I've still not heard a thing!
