Thanks, that helped.
I just got it to output serial... and it's PBL 5.1.
I guess that means it's basically a brick then? Any plausible way around?

Sorry for 3rd email...
Using a 9V supply the emailer appears to start - email and voice lights flash, then after some time the power light comes on when I press power, and camera light comes on when I then press video, but the LCD does not come on. So I suspect that amstrad were being cheap in choosing such a

voltage PSU - because they didn't want to include a backlight inverter to boost the voltage for the LCD backlight. I thus further suspect that I
can
still talk to the serial port without the full voltage input... so if I build a cable, is there a way I can tell which PBL I have from the serial output?

Hope this helps,
