Hi Adrian,
If you have a complete set of known
good ROMs for this model it shouldn't be
a problem to fix. Would it need to be fixed with NOS components or would you
be willing to accept modern replacements for some parts?
Hi Lee,
I've no problem with using modern replacements; I suspect in most cases
they'd be indistinguishable from the real thing anyway. The main problem
I've got is not being able to diagnose the fault - I may need more test
gear before I can have a proper stab at it. Also, I don't really have a
complete spare set of ROMs; I've been borrowing the ones out of my working
8032...
Cheers!
Ade.

I don't have a mainboard but can
probably fix yours for you. Where in the UK
are you? I'm in Shropshire but travel a fair bit (if infrequently).

it's got to be a
