	I spent a while working with Nick Toop (at Inele^WIntelligent
Software) who worked on the MK14 before he did the Acorn Atom and the Elan
Enterprise (which is when I met him).

	He told me that the first quick test on the populated MK14 boards
was done by setting a multimeter to continuity test (beeping resistance
check) black to ground and run red down the pins listening to the 'tune' it
made, if it didn't make the right tune it wasn't going to work.
