I needed to use the disc swap trick to get the terminal to run, but apart from that it all worked fine. I downloaded my current pet project, ran it and it looked different. It seemed as if the dithering on gouraud shaded polygons wasn't as effective, resulting in noticeable banding. It was also running quite a bit slower than on the Yaroze, with a VSync interval of 197 lines as opposed to 182 lines. My grey station is one of the early models (SCPH-1002) so I'm wondering whether this difference is down to changes to the design or simply because my old box is knackered. Mark
