Thanks Ewan and Ernest.
I've barely done more than open the beast, wipe off the grime and quickly plug it in.
Thankfully another collector nearby has also just got a Premium so between us we hope to get a working system that we can use to get the rest working from.
Maybe with some luck and a tailwind I'll get to have a closer look at this system on the weekend. As I have the 128k standard, at least I have a working system I can check signals on against things like the FDC controller chip. I also have that RAM diagnostics ROM still.
I haven't even checked the keys for continuity from below, so that'd probably be a good first step.
I'll get there, probably sooner rather than later. I'm just excited to have one! :-D
(Colour! At last!)
