Found these two oddities that I picked up as part of an auction lot, a switch addon for various computers and an RGB interface for the Speccy. We can try the power switch immediately, but the RGB box will need some investigation #RetroComputing

First job is to work out what the pinout of this port is. Ah, the sign of old, low yield, hardware - flathead screws. I’ll unlist the rest of this so if interested follow the 🧵#RetroComputing

Well, this is certainly ... constructed. I love the way the top board is held in place by very stiff wires. I might just replace those caps #RetroComputing

Gah ... they sanded the chips down, that makes things a little trickier. The box is obviously a generic project box that’s been cut #RetroComputing

@jonn_blanchard There is a special place in hell for people who sand off the marking off of chips
