Been meaning to update on this, but currently got some personal issues going on, so not been around.
Went with the Rigol 1054Z, as Rigol-UK (aka Telonic) offered me a reasonable discount.

I'm already on the list, but will definitely be attending for all 3 days. I'd also like a full table.

Can someone link to bought parts, and what they did to make stuff fit? I bought these , which make it fit perfectly. You need the 12/3mm versions, as there is a choice in a dropdown. I unsoldered the existing pins, and replaced them with the above. If you don't have a desoldering gun, you will prob...

I managed to get an ADFS hard drive, a VFS hard drive, PiTubeDirect, upgraded PSU and a wireless mouse interface (SmallyMouse2) inside the case; there's also econet and MultiOS in there... and I didn't even need to stick anything to the lid :) I need to get a VideoNuLA soon :) You're just showing o...

It's getting a bit tight in my case already.

We've got the VideoNuLA, PiTube Direct, Econet, MultiOS and Internal DC.
Next project is to build a BeebSID to go along with my BeebOPL and see if I can fit both of them in the case.

Got it all to fit. Found some 12mm pins on eBay and they are perfect:

The PiTube just clears the VideoNuLA and leaves plenty of space above for the internal DC.

Mine just arrived. Big thumbs up.

...snip... , otherwise it will infringe on the CF card adapter that's attached to the DC. Just a thought, a short IDE extension cable would move the adapter out of the way? Good thought, JonC. I did think about doing that, but it then makes fitting the BeebSID and/or BeebOPL inside the case lid pre...

Thanks Rob. Much appreciated. I've done a bit of a of bodge, thus: connector-bodge.jpg but this makes the copro too tall for the case to shut, as I've got an internal DataCentre mounted to the underside of the upper case. internal-dc.jpg The standard 65C02 copro fits perfectly, which means that the ...

Hi All, I've just received my two Master level shifters for the PiTube Direct, and found a small problem. My Master has a VideoNuLA installed, and the level shifter boards won't fit as the VideoNuLA is too tall. I should have looked more closely at the images of the adapter board. I just assumed tha...

Is this what I need to program it myself? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Altera-Mini-Usb-Blaster-Cable-For-CPLD-FPGA-NIOS-JTAG-Altera-Programmer-NEW-UK/192169107304?_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIM.MBE%26ao%3D2%26asc%3D49129%26meid%3Ddf560351ebfd4083aafa74da94eb5907%26pid%3D100005%26rk%3D6%26rkt%3D6...

I might be intersted in one of these, but could I please have some further details including price. Thanks. All the units from the 3rd production run are now spoken for. There is a waiting list for the 4th batch, but no confirmed production date as yet. Cost of the previous units was £37.95 each (i...

Thanks for all feedback. Much appreciated.

I'd like to take the remaining kit.

Hi All, I've come to the conclusion that I'm never going to fix the faults in my remaining Beebs without a scope. I had a quick chat with Mark@Retroclinic (thanks for your time, Mark. Much appeciated.), but I don't think I can reasonably justify the expense for a Tektronix or Keysight model. My curr...

I've now flashed Rob's fixed code, and it all works fine. I've done some more testing today with a variety of MODE 1 games, and everything looks good. Thanks Andy - I really appreciate your help particularly as my test setup is hard to get to at the moment! No worries. Glad I could help. Have done ...

All the basics have been done. Changed the caps in the PSU. All voltages are good under load. DFS is the default. CMOS battery has been replaced with a new lithium pack from RetroClinic. Everything is identical to my other Master in terms of configuration, and it works just fine. I'm beginning to su...

I'm on a bit of a roll with getting my old Beebs running at the moment. Just dug my second Master Turbo out of the loft, and everything works apart from the floppy interface. I've cleaned up the pins and confirmed the continuity between the connector and the opposite end of the cable. Plugging in ei...

Rob, do you happen to know if the cheap xilinx copy programmer listed for the Matchbox Copro will work? I did wonder about that, as I've got the Xilinx too. I think it should, but I ended up buying this . Works well, unless you're using Windows 10 x64. If you are, then the drivers that come with th...

Just in case it helps, this is what the game actually looks like:

I've just noticed that the colours for the bottom and middle 'kerbs' are green instead of magenta.

Hi Richard, I've just tried the new SSD on my NuLA equipped Master and the game runs with standard colours only. I've got the 1.02 version of the NuLA rom installed, and other NuLA enabled demos etc. work just fine. There might be one small difference in my setup, as I have just updated the NuLA wit...

Scratch that. Just realised that I'm about 3 weeks behind the times....
Really must remember to subscribe to these threads.

Hi Daniel,

If the VFS board you just mentioned on Facebook is still available, then I'd like to take it, please.

Thanks,

Andy.

Hi All, Just finished building my Gotek with OLED screen, rotary control and piezo sounder (Thanks danielj for the excellent video tutorial =D> ). I started off with the flashfloppy firmware, which works fine, but still lacks SSD and DSD support. I'm trying to avoid having to do any image conversion...

No worries at all. Hope you're feeling better now. I'm just grateful that folks like yourself and Simon put so much effort into bringing these projects to life in the first place.

Just when you think you've got things working... My issue 4 that I thought was working fine has now developed an interesting fault. I've run pretty much every test I can think of on the machine, and I'm still seeing the occasional speckle on a mode 0 screen. It often happens when you type. In fact, ...

Killer Gorilla works just fine on both machines.

I'd definitely be interested in 2x drives if you do another order.

Just had one final question. I've been running some tests on the newly fixed machine, and all appears to work just fine, apart from the original Acornsoft Defender. All of the alien graphics plot on top of each other. I'm using the version that comes with big games menu. I know that this version can...

I think we suffer from the same OCD traits. ;-) I didn't notice they were missing until I posted the photo. Rest assured, it's corrected now... memory-error-2.jpg Much better! :D Making an SSD also sounds like a great idea. Like you say, it's getting a bit long to type in. I managed to miss those br...

Managed to attach the chip to an IC socket, and lo and behold...
