I think AMD run a course on Stern and Bally Williams platforms - but no one has ever offered an SS course. I don't think it will ever happen.

There's the rub.

Forget about PC based systems, if no-one is capable of repairing these older SS systems they will eventually become little more than obsolescent paperweights by natural effluxion of time.

In Aus, you can already count the number of people who repair these older SS machines on a regular basis on one hand.

I sure don't envision the next generation willing to pick up where people like Strangeways, beaky et al have kept it alive.
