dandy thanks! i'll bid on that!

Brutman - if i win the bid on that, and write up some documentation with pictures, would you be interested in adding it to your accessory pages?

Well you must have won the bid as I see only one bidder on that item, actually I was tempted to as I would have liked a HotShot II but not that much. Plus what would I do with another PCJr as I already have 5 I think (kinda lost track). I figured if you got it hopefully we will be seeing an updated remake of those and then I can get one that way. :D

Its weird I thought there would be more bidders as I have seen almost bone stock PCJrs sell for for almost as much and they didnt even have the HotShot IIs.

I've posted my copy of the jrHotshot installation instructions; look for it with the rest of the scanned documentation.

It took a bit longer than usual - it was a photocopy and it was quite sloppy/noisy. It has taken a bit of effort to clean it up and make it presentable.

yeah it just arrived, several pieces of bad dram and both 74LS157 were bad. i've replaced them and started a burn in test. i'd like to see if i can dump the PAL16R8 chips and see if i can use an ATF16V8 instead...

as soon as i am done testing and documenting some stuff, i'm going to put it up for sale on ebay for $165... that's what i have in it including shipping, parts and my time...
