Hi Nicolas,

I flashed some kernels for my SX-64 using the adapter in the VIC-20 but I
haven't had time to test them yet. Unfortunately, when I swapped the VIC-20
EEPROM back in I managed to damage something so now the adapter doesn't
work.
Maybe we should take this off-list? I don't want to spam the list with this.

Can I mail you on the x1541.de address I used earlier?
