    Idunno, guys. Every time I look at ebay and see these boxen going for something north of $200 .. I get a little bit more gun shy.

    I thought I'd open it up and tap a Vcc here or there and throw some LEDs(ten cents each?!) at it but I chickened out. Here's my 'for pity sake don't break a working machine' solution.

    Dropped a switch in the old LED hole.

    Full frontal coolness ..

    A peek under the hood. The battery case is attached with two-sided tape. The worst that could happen is the batteries falling onto the main board. Best of all I did this with parts I had lying about

    I was gonna ask...where is the keyboard, Cy, but I figure this is the 800XL with the PS2 keyboard, yes? Well, I like the Blackpool illuminations, pal!

    Light em up, buddy :)

    Poor Cy might not have a clue about the Blackpool Illuminations Andy. For info Cy, they are lights, lots of bright lights :)
