You should have said yesterday, I've a bunch of 2114's. All low power variants by the look of it.

There's 10 MSM2114L3RS (ex Vic20) and 2 MCM21L14P45 ex ZX81.

So last thing Sat, after everyone else had gone, Mark and I had a look at Paul D's MTX to try and work out why it was having video issues. By the time Mark had to leave for the long drive we still hadn't duplicated the fault, even with the extra load on the PSU of driving a CFX-II on the expansion c...

The "computer room" benches are both about 7' long.

The "provisional" Memofest setup has 7 screens set up, one or 2 of which can be moved if necessary
