thelastpsion, 1 month ago There's a chance that this ROM board might be salvageable. But it's a small chance. At least the chips look OK.

thelastpsion, 1 month ago COMPATIBLE CHIPS FOUND! Samsung KM416V1000BT-L6. Not the best option, but definitely compatible and perfect for testing. The bottom one has been affected by corrosion, but the top three are in good condition. The board also has two microswitches (top-right of the picture) that I can use to repair another 3mx. Sweet Series 5, your death will not be in vain! #RetroComputing #Psion

thelastpsion, 1 month ago This is really exciting for me, because it's now very likely that I'll be able to bring a working 4MB #Psion Series 3mx to the Festival of Portable Computing in #Cambridge next month. As far as I know, it'll be the only one in the world! #RetroComputing https://www.computinghistory.org.uk/det/72231/The-Festival-of-Portable-Computing-(18th-19th-May-2024)/
