Re: Mark IV service manual? /keyboard not working

2012-09-27 by bty78743

I worked out one of the problems by switching the Ambicon CF card from the io centre with the prc100 and the network disappeared

On closer inspection I can see the CF card from the PRC is damaged
Anyone know where I can get these cards in the UK
?

Hopefully when i get the PRC up and running I might be able to fix the keyboard with a reset...
