Drowning under a sea of SPAM!

Claus, the board is at risk of losing any value if the ever increasing amount of SPAM is allowed to continue. I know that we don't get a lot of messages at the best of times, but the amount of SPAM seems to be disproportionately high - and getting worse. Is there anythingt that can be done to restri...

Re: Hello from a new member

Oh well, never mind. As you say, beautiful machines. There are a couple of options to upgrade the RAM, as it is highly unlikely you'll find a Memotech 32K expansion, there's my sorry tale of woe when I tried it here http://primrosebank.net/computers/mtx/projects/ramupgrade/ramupgrade.htm If you don'...

Re: Hello from a new member

Bit of a coincidence, you mentioning the FDX - I got my wife to rescue it from the loft yesterday, I plan on having a serious go at fixing it! The HDX is very rare, I'm not even certain that Me...

The SDX was an external disk drive, plugged into the expansion port on the left hand side of the MTX, some models did have exactly the same PSU as the MTX. I would love to get my hands on one of the...

Re: It works !

Oooops!

Sorry, obviously not the UHF modulator then, that is quite a common problem, but I should have asked if you were using the TV out - duh!

Re: It works !

Hi Phil,

Good result - well done!

The video problem sounds more like a modulator problem, rather than the video board, but could be either I suppose,
