To be fair, what are the odds of a random Sam's drive still working anyway?

Re: Capacitor fix for comms interface
Trinity may be a better interface to go to - as it could make life a bit easier to work with. Quoting Stephen Longhurst st...@longsteve.com: Hi all, According to the World Of Sam Hardware Bugshttp://www.worldofsam.org/node/210page, to improve the comms interface RS232 connection, you need to solder a fat tantulum cpacitor between the +5v and 0v rails. Can anyone offer any more detail on what sort of capacitor I ought to get, I'm hoping to use my comms interface for a bit of fiddling (serial terminal to for Raspberry Pi amongst other things) and thought I'd fix it up first. Would any of the ones on this Maplin Pagehttp://www.maplin.co.uk/tantalum-bead-capacitors-394be appropriate? Thanks, Steve --
