I`ve just won a "faulty" 030 40mhz accelorator on Yahoo for £10.50. The thing is the seller stated that the board worked but did`nt recognise the Ram fitted to the board. This aroused my interest due to the fact that the Paravision (microbotics) card i`ve got in my 1200 also wouldn`t recognise the memory on board IF the software needed wasn`t installed! I`m hoping that`s the "fault" with the board I`ve won cause if it is I should make a haelthy profit at auction!! :-)

Well who knows? You maybe when you get the board. Either you can make a profit, or you'll loase money on it if it truly is faulty. It's your gamble.

Hope you're right.

Yea I know it`s a bit of a gamble but fer £10.50... if it were truely knackerd I could throw it in the bin and it woludn`t matter would it? But having said that I`m sure I could still re-sell it as faulty and some schmuck would still give me my tenner back
