@Tig:

I wanna know how Colin knows this too.


I appear to have fried the cpu in my A1, after 2 years sterling
service.
Never realised how much I'd miss it - typing this on my Pegasos1.

That eleven hundred quid system Sven is selling actually looked quite
tempting until I remembered I don't have anything like that kind of
dosh just now.

OS4 on the Peg2 is my preferred route, although I appreciate that
isn't likely to happen any time soon.

@Tig:

It's an A1XE, 800mHz G4 (750x I think).
I'm not sure it's the CPU at all.
Is there a definitive way to test
this?

Cheers for the offer, BTW.

Have you tried replacing the clock battery?


Not yet but I will, desoppite being fairly sure it will be a pointless excercise.

The A1 won't boot with a dead battery for some reason..


... but apparently will still give some serial output. Mine doesn't.
