RE: [OT] some B... B.... Bargains!...

I had a couple of PC Chips boards over the years, all of them bought on
computer fairs.
They served me well. All of them worked fine.=20
Maybe I was just lucky :-) ...
=20
But I never pushed them to the limit, and performance-wise, probably
they cannot be compared with ASUS or similar.
I bought them because of the price and never went for the latest model.
Also, their drivers site was very confusing a few years ago, I must
admit. It improved recently (a bit).

Cheers,
Nik

No! PC Chips are, IME, utter sh*te.  Expect them to be out-performed by
a ZX81,=20
and don't expect the first 2 or 3 boards to work.
When you get one that works, prepare to replace it in about 3 months coz
it's=20
packed in.=20
All just IME of course - maybe I'm just unlucky :)
