- The replacement MTX PSU
design produced by Mark Kinsey used a Vigortronix: VTX-126-050-2075
transformer which has now been discontinued. A similarly rated (230V
50VA 7.5V+7.5V ) transformer would be suitable, one possible option
has been added to the web
page. (As used by Steve Gardiner)
- When playing with the MFX
web server, I thought that it would be a good idea if the program
was able to display a default file name, e.g., index.htm,
when a client connected. Bill has modified
the program
accordingly - thanks Bill!
- I have received a copy of Spelli-copter (kindly donated by Wendy
Mclaughlin via Facebook). I will post a copy as time allows.
- Peter Axelsen has kindly dumped the character ROM from the MTX
(not FDX!) 80 column board, a copy is now available for download
from the ROMs page.

- Posted updated SD card
image file for MFX
- Well, Openreach finally connected me on the 15th - only some
145 days
after the order was placed!
- Found some interesting information about
Francis Wallinger, so created a new
WATN entry for him
- Some progress on the 6th - the fiber is now live outside my
study, final connection due on the 15th - fingers crossed!
- Openreach have still not connected me, the latest "promise" is
for the 15th of the month, but let's see . . . . .
- Kurt Klemm got in touch and has offered scans of some of the
missing User Group (Genpat
and MOC) magazines. I will post
them as I receive them - thanks a lot Kurt!
- Kurt also sent me a copy of the letter issued by MOC in August
1989 announcing that the MOC would close in December of that year
and pointed me to the editorial in the June 1988 MOC mag which
advised that Genpat had just closed down..
