:-) Yes, I noticed BeebEm doesn't burrr-beep pleasingly. It's more a 
br-beep.

Wasn't it just held on with a foamy-sticky thing?

"Crumbs!"? That's your response?!? :-) D'you have any idea what mom 
would say if one of my PSUs did that?!

Well, you're now in the elite.

Dead capacitor? In my younger stupider days friends and I used to 
dumpster-dive for old dead circuits to which we could remove random 
components to hook them to the mains. We even had a special flex with a 
(mains) plug at one end and shrouded croc clips at the other. Meaty 
low-voltage electrolytics were always fun to blow up. They pack a lot of 
tinfoil and stuff in those cans!

Errr... just so long as BeebEm doesn't have exploding PSUs as an 
accurate hardware emulation option! :-)

I know. Weird.

You only need to write the code once?


Best wishes,

Rick.
