I was just mulling it over. Of course if we could do a temporary swap whereby I try out your choice the working Novag Robot Adversary whilst you have a go with what?? ............I know, my Ipaq with PF2 :) then I could make a more informed choice, couldn't I? Changing the subject. Sparc compatibility with Renaissance boards. Due to my rather haphazard collecting over the past year I have 3 Renaissance boards. One is factory compatible with the Sparc, one was converted to be compatible (by Niggemann's) and one probably is not compatible, or at least I have nothing to say it is. The Sparc was however tried and worked in all three. I have been warned that you should not use the Sparc in an unconverted board as this potentially could cause damage both to the board and module. I seem to remember there being some discussion about Sparc compatibility on Kurts website. What was said I do not know because I did not decipher the German used in the posts at the time. Sometimes my translation software and dictionary just come up with gobbledegook. Steve, can you throw any light on the subject of Sparc compatibility please? BTW the removal men came to the wrong place. They should of course have been directed to my Mayfair penthouse. They were sent packing so luckily I do have more time to choose after all. Now what about the Tasc R30.....perhaps I will save that for another post and the Fidelity Elite Premiere you seem to think I have!? Procrastination Our Speciality Mike
