I'd love to get another Ace, simply because I've got the manual, a 16k RAMpak
and the demo tape. I really should get my Ace back and try and repair it. I
think the PSU blew out a few tracks and also popped just about every chip on
the board. The ROM sockets and CPU socket are suspect, too (they're those
lousy metal-leaf sockets that last precisely two chip insert/remove cycles).
Ordinarily, I would have bought that Ace off Ebay, but I'm still trying to
track down a decent logic analyser...

Some people have all the luck.
Later.
