I've found someone in Edinburgh who has a replacement Sun 4/330 CPU
board for us, but I don't exactly trust it going through the postal
system :-(

Getting it as far as Newcastle (*waves to Witchy*) or
Leeds area by car,
or further south to Bletchley itself / Cambridge / Luton / London would
be rather useful!

Actually, it sounds like there's an entire 4/330
system; we only need
the CPU board - but if this donor one has a framebuffer then I could
cobble together a seperate working 4/330 out of the bits and our broken
4/330 CPU board... albeit it one with knackered serial ports :) No real
loss if we just get the CPU board and not the rest though...
Hm... It would go in the car easily enough.
I've got a few days off coming up. Talk to me about it off-list.
