Request for Risc PC hardware...

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone out there had a RPC they're no longer using 
and are willing to donate for me to keep working on updating the acorn32 
port.

It appears that mine has some kind of fault, related to audio and 
graphics.  I suspect either the VRAM has died, or the motherboard around 
the VIDC.

This could be related to a battery leak I had when I first turned it 
back on a couple of months ago, and am wondering if it's corroded part 
of the motherboard.

Anyway having taken it apart to blow out dust etc it's become less 
stable than before I did that (just typical), risc-os now boots with the 
mouse having graphics corruption on screen and an annoying constant buzz 
rather than a beep.

If nothing comes up I'll buy a second hand one, but thought I'd ask in 
case someone has one holding a door open, or gathering dust in a corner 
that they didn't want any more.

Thanks,
Chris
