I just bought an IDE-CF adapter the other day with the intention of

I don't think anybody is actually using real CF cards
anymore, they are about a decade out of date.

This is the list where we discuss using stuff that's a decade and more

Hey guys, figured it was time for an update on the LGP-30 resuscitation.
Some further detective work found a leaky 1500uF cap in one of the B+ supplies
which was causing the 'surging' issue on the scope. For good measure I replaced
