I tried the spondoolies website (now offline), but did not think of looking for a 'Spondoolies' account on this forum.
And i haven't spotted whether 'top posting' or 'bottom posting' a reply is acceptable, so again, steep learning curve, and am happy to hear back if there is an acceptable standard for top- or bottom-posting reply comments.
Thanks again.

Company went bankrupt which is why the official site is down. Quite a shame since they were actually good competitors at the time to Bitmain, outclassing their S3 and S5 in terms of efficiency.
