I wonder if that's related to a design problem I recall seeing mentioned in 
the service manual? Something to do with the clock generator failing to 
start, later machines were redesigned and ISTR the manual detailed how to 
modify the original machines.

The problem usually resulted in a "dead" machine with black screen BTW.

It was an old message from a few weeks ago, I'd missed it thanks to my 
wonderfully reliable mail server....

Tony was asking if the Memotech service manual was available on the web 
anywhere?
