I bought it from someone who had one to sell at a mutually agreeable price.

Got it talking to an arduino now and running my BASIC:

Might even try to connect it to a colour TV tomorow... (no HDMI to DVI-D adapter yet) Not sure if my big telly will display 80 column, 640x480... Fortunately I have a double font size option just for this purpose.. That'll be really retro - 40x24 text on a TV :)

Looks good. I'll be interested to know what exciting things you manage to do with it. I'm preparing for when I get a Raspberry Pi (whenever that will be, I read on the Raspberry Pi that they're hoping to fulfill orders by about June time or something like that). I picked up a 22" LCD monitor today with DVI, just need to get a hub now and 'borrow' my kids USB charger (which IIRC is just powerful enough to power it).
