No, but isn’t the ‘A’ in ADFS for “Advanced”?

Depends who you ask!

If we are looking at throwing in everything and the kitchen sink. Could you squeeze in the MGC like functionality onto the board. I guess would require some clever ROM switching between MGC and DFS, but one assumes you dont need them at the same time. Only because I once the AP3/4 and AP5 plugged i...

Might be worth a look for spares and upgrades?

Just go to the mouser website and search for the part number 7-520355-0.

No idea if its any good, but its somewhat cheaper;

If I sell some more, would people be interested in buying a board with an included DOM (probably 4GB, ony 2GB usable on RO 3.11)?

I'd certainly be interested in an 8bit one for my A3000.

One for me please!

Ah brill, thanks for the info! I should be ok then as I'm not boarding out to the edges of the loft, where it's then ventilated via the eaves. I'm guessing that as long as I don't compress the insulation too much when boarding, that shouldn't be a problem either. Made stuff, like floor/shelf/mezzani...

The loft is insulated with one layer of fibreglass from 20 plus years ago and another layer of knaufwool over the top, which is more recent (about 5-10 years). When you say 'breathe' do you mean the ventilation under the eaves? On our house, it's open to the elements in that respect, so gets freezin...

Hi All, I've had a bit of a bodge floor strip in the loft for 20 years, which consists of a few leftover lengths of tongue and groove chipboard screwed to some 'risers' screwed to the joists. Nothing too fancy and has served well. However this was just a strip to walk the length of the loft. I'm now...

A jiffy bag of capacitors, allowing me to bring this sorry looking Pentium 3 motherboard back to life after 10yrs in the loft. Amazingly it now works, although I also had to swap out the PSU which is similarly affected (smaller bag of capacitors now on order). This will form the basis for a Windows...

How much data do yo have to move? A few 800kb floppies might be ok if it's a small amount?

Check your SD-IDE adaptor, does it have a jumper to switch between CS/D1/D2 etc?

Note: The LP ARA II board will NOT fit! This is due to the LP IC sockets not being Low Profile enough (If you use EEPROMs then they will fit!!).

Hi, I would certainly be interested in a couple of the socketed Beeb Master Econet Modules please if you decide to make any more as per: http://www.beebmaster.co.uk/BeebShop/BMEconet1.html Same here please Ian. :) Also I reckon if the new 'Econet Hub' gets produced it would be good to package that,...

If there's any left, could I have a 16 bit one for my A310 please Ian, via post?

Thanks

Very nice, those look really professional Dave.

Just a thought, a short IDE extension cable would move the adapter out of the way?

If you don't fancy spending too much money, there are also these: IMG_6695.JPG On eBay . Likely also available elsewhere. Don't know how good they are though. Mark I had mixed results with these, tended to be ok on newer solder, but problematic on older stuff. A lot easier than trying to hold an Ir...

Not sure if Bryce is still selling these;

Stand offs.

I'm wondering if this just work on a Zero, or would it work on other Pi's as well? Presumaby the Zero has sufficient oomph to do the job and the older ones not so much..

There was this space themed strategy type game I used to play a lot as a kid, was green screen, can't for the life of me remember what it's called. I think there was a Mode 7 graphic of a spaceship on the loading screen, realize that's not much of a description. Would love to know what that game wa...
