A classic example, of a A310 requiring FCO2002 (aka the parallel port mod,
aka the Intergrex fix).

The FCO (field change order) can be made by any Acorn dealer or service
centre, and is *FREE*.

As a guide A310s with serial numbers prior to 27-AKB15-1017351 will require
the FCO. This is only a guide as a machine that has had any sort of service
history may well have had the FCO done. Also machines that have had serious
faults within warrenty may well have had their PCB changed, in which case
they will have recieved a board with the FCO made.
