awesome as ever! You've really done some sterling work with the MTXPlus+ ROM . . . .

folks won't know how impressive it is until they try it - I really need to make those PCBs available soon!

Hi Stephen, I guess that you don't need any comments on the "wisdom" of bypassing the fuse :D The burning smell is not a good sign, the problem could be pretty much anywhere on the board. A good, easy anyway, starting point would be to remove all of the socketed chips and try that first. A...

Hi Bill, For programs that already exist as MTX files, I think that there is software already available to do the job. The AppMake tool that is part of Z88DK should be able to generate a "clean" .WAV file from the digital .MTX file. Paul will know more about this, but this might save you d...

Hi Paul, I am sure that we could do that - bring it on!

It is also conceivable that it is...

More specifically, is anyone bringing any broken stuff to Memofest that are candidates for the "Memotech Hospital"? I have a pretty decent toolkit that should cover most eventualities and it shouldn't be necessary for anyone to bring any tools with them unless there are any special jobs th...

Hi Bill,

That's great news !
