Hi Martin! No harm in replacing the Cap in the reset cct, I'm sure. If the problem goes away after a further reset, it could be the 15MHz oscillator driving the ZX8302 ageing and not stabilising 'quickly enough.' But that's just speculation. As for the method used to select each MDV unit, I think I ...

Hi Martin! I've never had a problem with RESET that required that Cap to be replaced - when I have hitn problems with reset, it was either down to the ZX8302 or something more fundamental with the main ZX8301, but replacing the Cap is a simple and cheap enough operation to eliminate it.

Looking forward to seeing some of you there...
