PLEASE NOTE
" IT IS ALWAYS BEST TO CREATE THE INITIAL FILESYSTEM (FDISK, FDISK /MBR, FORMAT) ON THE TARGET MACHINE, OTHERWISE PROBLEMS WILL HAPPEN DUE TO DIFFERENCES IN DRIVE GEOMETRY TRANSLATION. NOT DOING THAT COULD LEAD TO PROBLEMS LATER ON, EVEN THOUGH IT MAY SEEM TO WORK AT FIRST. ONCE THIS IS DONE, IT'S SAFE TO MOVE THE DRIVE/CF MEDIA TO A MODERN MACHINE BECAUSE THE FILE SYSTEM DRIVERS IN A MODERN OS ARE SMART ENOUGH TO UNDERSTAND THE GEOMETRY AND MOUNT THE DRIVE SAFELY."

IF YOU IGNORE THAT ADVICE - WE CAN NOT HELP YOU.

International buyers – please note:  Import duties, taxes, customs and handling charges aren't included in the item price or postage cost.  These charges are the buyer's responsibility.  Please check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs will be,  prior to bidding or buying, as we are unable to advise on this. It is illegal to falsify customs declarations  (for example by declaring a sale price lower then actual) or mark an item as a "gift"  in order to avoid customs fees - please do not ask us to do so as we will have to report this.

ATTENTION:  Due to the aftermath of the pandemic we have been forced to take the difficult decision to stop offering international postage on most of our items. Severe delays with customs processing and international haulage issues caused by lack of drivers mean we can not guarantee a good experience for our customers. Please accept our sincere apologies for any inconvenience and disappointment caused. We will be monitoring the situation and reverse this decision as soon as practical. In the mean time, you can still use Ebay?s Global Shipping Program to make Your purchases from outside the UK.

Dear Buyers: Dear Buyers: Due to Royal Mail (the 2nd of October 2023) increasing postage prices yet again by up to 30%, we are forced to make the difficult decision to stop offering free shipping on our cheapest items. Postage prices have been going up steadily, now reaching over 100% more than in December 2022, and while we were able to absorb this by reducing our profit margin, this it is no longer possible as of this latest increase. Our Item prices have been reduced and a separate postage cost has been added where applicable. We will strive to offer combined postage where possible if multiple items are purchased. We are very sorry for any inconvenience this has caused, but sadly it is beyond our control.
