yes the Risc II is a great module
very prone to defect though..
the Risc modules were the only Mephisto modules to take a 5 volt adaptor and
probably because of this it is known to blow out the circuits quite frequently
i already had this happen to me with my Risc I but not the Risc II YET.
i know of several other collectors who also had this problem
luckily i could have it repaired by Ruud

as to payment..

it is a pain when the seller is from Europe and will only accept a direct bank
deposit which is very common there and of course not at all common here in the
states

in those cases i oft times ask fellow collectors whom i am friendly with  in
Europe to help me make the payment

of course,collectors i am in fierce competition with i dont bother to ask
:))

Work Around Regards
Steve
