An ABR thanks Dave! Now I have Beebug C permanently available without having to load it into sideways RAM each time (it was very much a 1st world problem...).

Added BBC disc Elite to the Electron box.

I’m running a Retroclinic multi-OS. It has already proved useful in being able to switch to 1.20 for some games compatibility.

Maybe they are meant to be £2.29 each?
I never quite understand how people who do this can have nearly 2000 positive feedbacks? Crazy.

I belive the code is currently relocatable being all BNE, BCC etc. for branching control. But not having to worry about that will make it easier for a 6502 noob. I like the idea of a loader - I can show the intro text, assemble code while it is being read (ignored...) and then load the game having a...

Ta.

Hi all I am in the process of rewriting some of the slow parts of my adventure framework into machine code and am making progress (slowly) with the text wrapping print routine. Its my first proper attempt at machine code on the beeb - previously I have only done Z80. Hopefully it should be finished ...

Welp, you can ask for £30 and see if anyone bites..? I know sometimes things go for less than we'd like, but the value of anything is only what anyone's prepared to pay for it at any given time. d. I have put in on here for £15 and if nobody is interested I will try my luck on eBay. You never know ...

Suncom Starfighter joystick. I tested this on my C64 and it worked nicely. This came with a Tac-2 and I only really wanted the Tac-2 so here it is! There are some cable ‘melt marks’ underneath but the top is in pretty good condition. £15 plus p&p seems the going rate for these. D5617A58-34BC-4345-AA...

Acorn full height disc drive - not working. When I got this I cleaned the head and removed a bit of label from inside the drive and gave it a go. It started formatting a disc but stopped at track 27 and make disc access noises (rather than the ‘chunk-chunk-chunk’ noise it had been making). Now all i...

Electron Elite by Superior Software. Box and manual only - no cassette. Just the case and manual! This does look nice on the shelf but I don’t have an elk! The manual has a bit of pencil writing at the back. Added BBC disc Elite. This is missing the Dark Wheel and the poster. I have tested this in b...

Thanks. Was hoping a bit closer to £30 or so. Hey ho!

I finally managed to get a Tac-2 joystick to complete my wife’s original C-64 setup and I have to say it is an impressive bit of kit. Definitely the best digital joystick I have ever used - it even passes the Ghouls test (I can get off level 1 using it! :D ). Very nice! 5B371679-AD92-4EED-80B7-050A3...

The Apple looks really nice, if only: a) I had the space, and b) I could have persuaded my wife not to beat me with it. If I had the space I would be keeping it. :cry: You would be safe from your wife unless she is REALLY strong. It is probably too heavy to pick up. :D At least that is problem B so...

I have listed the Apple on eBay (https://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/Apple-IIe-Two- ... 3405912087). Again if anyone on here is interested PM me your eBay Id and put in an offer at the price above and I will accept.

I have listed the Softcard on eBay (https://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/Apple-II-Microsoft-Softcard-Z80-CPM-Boxed-With-Manuals-And-Discs-Working-/273403976426) and will list the Apple tomorrow thanks to some well timed £1 final fee offers. If anyone on here is interested and would rather buy through eBay for a...

Pascal £30 plus p&p (paypal friends and family). This is the four discs and two manuals. The back cover has come off one of the manuals.

MS Softcard £140 plus p&p. This is a boxed softcard, two hefty manuals and the original discs. The label has come lose on the 16 sector disc. I have created copies of the original 16 sector master disc using the CP/M utilities and have formatted a few blank discs. ECCA8CED-A0F7-4136-BFD9-F27A0D767BE...

Apple IIe, 128K RAM, Super Serial card, VGA scaler, manuals and two disc drives with all cables £280 plus p&p. I appreciate this is a lot for this site so I am assuming normal payPal for this (i.e. you get buyer protection) rather than friends and family. I can list it on eBay for extra protection b...

I have been thinking about this one for a while now. Since downsizing I only have space to put out one computer at a time and I think we all know what brand that is going to be... I have not switched on my Apple much recently and don’t really see that I will have time to do so in the foreseeable fut...

Walters Computers in Stourbridge! Awesome! (I got my first Beeb from there).

I’d say BBC Basic is definitely an ‘app’ (although I guess I am stuck in my ways and call things software or programs or applications etc. :?) - take it away and the computer still works (assuming you put another language in of course) I think also BBC Basic as the main reason - very comprehensive a...

great doc!

Have to say it looks nice!

^ Why does Ghouls do that, you mean?

Makes sense.

Ahhh! That explains a lot.
Why does it do that?

Thanks. pressing CTRL BREAK gets me. BBC Computer 32K Language ? I have had similar with my DataCentre on a model B. It seems to behave ok on a Master. I assume this is because the Master has a separate workspace for system data such as that used by the datacentre etc. and therefore games don’t tra...

Interesting! Looks much improved.

Care to try an experiment please? Can you play Ghouls and get killed (easy enough) and when the game tries to continue see if it crashes please? It will dump you back to BASIC if it does.

Thanks
