What did you buy today.

[Neil79]

[Nobby_UK]

Belkin F5D7330 Wireless Ethernet Bridge = £8

It is looking like it is WEP (or Unsecured) Only
(Unless there is a Firmware Update ???)
which makes it useless

#EDIT#
There is a Firmware update (done):
but I can't see anywhere to enter my PSK


#UPDATE#
Ibrowse saw the place to enter PSK
Now it works --- But I can't bring the Browser Interface up anymore

I couldn't resist any longer and just bought a Korg Monotribe Analog Ribbon Station, it's going to be so much fun!!

Had a really disappointing day with my ebay purchases.

Firstly with the Korg Monotribe i bought, the guy rings me today saying that it was the last one they had, and that some of the guys in there shop had opened it and used it and it had scratches on it.
So he refunded my money, i will now have to look at buying another one, it's annoying because this guy advertised his as new and was cheaper then everyone else.

Next my Tandy pong/gun console turned up today and i tested it out quickly.
The console and paddles work fine and the pong plays ok, but the light gun doesn't work.
I am using it on a crt tv and as far as i know it should work, i also darkened my room and played around with the tv's tuning and brightness, but still no luck with the gun.

He had advertised it as tested and working, and having messaged him about the gun not working, i can either get a partial refund or sent it back for a full refund.
The thing is if i send it back for a full refund, it's still going to cost me for postage and in the end i have nothing, and if i keep it i have something that doesn't fully work!

I'm quite disheartened about it all

Probably the the light sensor in the gun.. You could check it with an oscilloscope.

Ok thanks for that, but i don't have access to oscilloscope at the moment though.

Also having just googled around about old light guns and crt tv's, i am reading conflicting information about whether they work on flat screen crt's or not.

My crt has a flat screen, some say you need the old curved screen crt's, while others say they work fine on flat screen crt's, it's hard to tell.

I am now wondering if the gun is ok but it doesn't like my crt tv?
It is a very old pong/console from 1977!

The display must be 50/60 hz if its a 100hz display turn off 100hz mode

It's only 50/60hz and it's a pretty basic/older 4:3 crt, but it has a flat screen.

He is offering a full refund plus the initial postage costs, so it will only cost me postage costs to send it back to him, i think i might return it as i'm not happy with it not fully working.

I ended up ordering another Korg Monotribe from someone more reliable, it should be here next week.

I also sent that pong console back to the seller as i wasn't happy about the gun not working when it was advertised as fully functional.

I got an a500+ (with 1 mb expansion - 2mb chip) the other week and have an action replay mk3 on the way...

Thought my MultiMeter needed a new one
Turns out it did not

So bought a Very Cheap replacement
It will have to do - till after x-mas

That is going to be horribly overkill for every Amiga out there, except maybe ones using SCSI and PPC
