Indeed. The problem is that classic-computer/hardware hackers are not
grouped close enough together for such a club to be really workable.
You'd really have to meet face-to-face.

Occassionally, we do hardware hacking at HPCC, and I almost always have a
reasonable toolkit with me. I guess that's one of the last clubs where
things do get dismantled and modified -- if I am wrong, and there's
another one in the London (UK) area, then please enlighten me :-)

Put the supect one in the character generator area (and try it in both
positions). The machine will start up with it there, but you'll only get
half of each character recogniseable if it's defective...
