I have never heard what a real TT sounds like - mine was rehoused in a 1.25 metre tall PC server Tower before I got it. Although that's pretty loud (I've had neighbours complaining so I had to stand it on foam to damp the vibrations).
F.R. - send me a Linux68k set and I'll knock £10 off the TC1208!!! I have a GEsoft TTRAM board and 32MB worth of RAM, but I've tried every combination of jumpers and chips I can think of, I just can't get it to 32MB.
Anybody got any thoughts?
