I sent my boards away to get done. Yes I know how to solder etc, but I'm
just not that confident/willing to work on these things with how old they
are. The A600 had some nice green junk on it, and had to have a bath.
It's now back and working 100%... I need to re-set her up, but have been
playing with the A4000 & A3000 testing new linux kernel's...
 

I've been watching "Chris Edwards Restoration" on youtube and what he has
managed to recover has been amazing...

That's why I sent my boards away %-;  I just didn't want to risk making
more of a mess, and with how much boards are going for even *IF* I could
locate one... $-<
