I have started the RMA process for the motherboard in The-Beast. Hopefully, Gigabyte won’t take their sweet time getting the board back to me. In the interim, good old Lappy Z81D is my primary computer.

Lappy does a good job, so I should be okay until the new board comes in.

In other news, I cleaned out my computer room today, got rid of an old case, a slew of old boxes and a few old optical drives. I also threw a couple of dead UPS units out into the hall until the recycling center opens again, then I can get them recycled.

I have an opportunity to purchase a fully operational Kaypro I with CP/M and the original OS boot discs, keyboard, cables and everything. We shall see how that goes… if it even goes at all.
