Nice job. I envy your work ethic and spare time

I don't always have spare time, which is why nothing has been done over the past couple weeks But hopefully I'll get some more done this week.

If there's any American Einstein fans out there, here's a 80 column card:

My loft swings from artic in the winter to surface of the sun in summer, I wouldn't put anything electronic up there.

Another Einstein device I've designed is a micro SD card interface that connects to the user port. No PCBs ever made but hardware-wise it's trivial.

This is very interesting, maybe I won't need a gotek if I get one of these.

I'm new to the Einstein so my question is, given that I'm going to fit a Gotek to my machine is there any benefit to having an SD fitted too?

I was gonna bid on those, good to see they went to a good home.

Just a little update.

I've entered the 20 levels from 'The Children' and I'm now in the process of enetering the 100 levels from gameboy catrap. After I'm done there I'll make some levels of my own, might even think up a new mechanic.

They're selling it as used so it has to work or it's breaking eBay rules and you can get a refund.

There was a small article in PCW about joysticks. Not sure how much help this will be, but here it is:
