> Survey time: How many people have Plus/4s which
are not in the box?
[raises hand in the air]
actually my plus/4s completely dead - has anyone got schematics anywhere
or know what commonly went wrong with these machines? (Unfortunately it
was donated to me in a dead state - I've no guarantee that ROMs haven't
been swapped round etc. - can anyone tell me which chips should go in
which sockets just to be sure? :)
(If I power on the machine all I get is a black screen, no meaningful
display of any sort)

well I must say that the manuals make them sound pretty good, but that
has to be a lie - I mean, how common are these things? (they're
certainly not in the UK anyway!!)
