# get new drivers for everything...
install clean system... this 2000 install is so fucked up now that whole chunks of it just don't work. I have complaints from services I didn't even know I had...

can be fixed with a bit of solderage. Refitted a new ROM socket to my prototype Memotech MTX today and the bastard STILL doesn't work. Grrr. Fortunately I know 4 ex-Memotech types so hopefully I can get the schematics.
