Well, roger me sideways. I turned the Master on today, with the
ambient temperature back below 30 degrees, and after about ten
seconds there was a long, drawn out buuuuuurrrrrrrrrrrr... beep!

Insert ROM 8, log onto server, configuration reloaded, working!

Well, trying to get to the spare Master in the basement meant I
cleared out eight years of old leaflets, moved the sockets to
where they were needed, and did a bit of much needed tidying up.
