Hi,
Blatently plugging my eBay auction, but they don't come around often, so I'm hoping that by posting here anyone interested gets to see.
I've put my Hydra board up for sale on eBay:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=161127430127
Hydra probably needs little introduction on here - but basically it was a board which allowed multi-processing of ARM 600s and ARM 700s with a RISC PC.
In the current climate with OS development boards, it may be of interest to people working with current versions of RISC OS too as well as for historical curiousity.
As far as I'm aware RISC OS 3.6 is needed - but of course you may make it modern RISC OS-friendly given suitable expertise  .
All queries welcome! |

You seem to have the PLD board plugged into the shared memory socket, and there's no sign of the shared memory card. |

Rob: Oops yes you are correct - the PLD board needs to be on the other side. I will blame the fact that for very obvious reasons it hasn't exactly seen a lot of use for the last 10 years.
Re. shared memory board - I don't recall it having any other cards - and neither does the one Simtec photo show one:

Pretty sure (although it was a long time ago) this was the lot. Was the shared memory card additional?

Actually, I think the shared memory board is the rarest thing of all. Perhaps two were made? |

Phew! I did think there's no way I've misplaced a board - I'm too OCD for that! Also even though I've had to put it as 'sold as seen' I'd be really disappointed if it was non-functional having been well-stored and looked after, so you did worry me for a moment there! |
