Does OpenSpand work on the TS1500

I know people running OpenSpand on the TS1500 but it requires a bus connector extender because the TS1500 power supply plug physically interferes with the OpenSpand.

Photos and information on how you can make or purchase a suitable extender will follow soon.

IMPORTANT NOTE:  If you have an old TS1500 hiding somewhere that you haven't plugged in for years, I have it on good authority that it would be wise not to plug it in until you have all the electrolytic capacitors in it replaced.   Many of these capacitors have gone bad.  If you are lucky they will just cause some noise on the background of your display output.  If you are not so lucky they will disturb the power supply regulation and you will burn out ICs.
