Well an update, I have now fitted a new capacitor to my StrongArm card 
but that wasn't the end of my problems, I've been digging around in my 
box of wires looking for my acorn mouse, didn't find it but I found my 
original vga cable with pins 4,5 and 9 missing. Hmmm I wonder if this 
will make a difference ?

drum role please.....

It's working again :-) It didn't like my other vga cable that is fully 
wired.

Now all I got to do is find my mouse the ps2 one I was testing it with 
has only 2 buttons and Risc OS is rather hard without a Menu button.

Cheers
Howard
