The closest I got was my O level computer studies project - a copy of pac man called Hippy Munch. Inspired by The Young Ones you played Neil the hippy and had to go round collecting the lentils to make the tea. You were chased by Vivian’s socks (which had escaped from the laundry at the centre of th...

Could I also take the sealed Econet books (£8) and the Lisp book (£3) please? I’m not totally interested in the level 1 guide as I have a level 3 setup but if you don’t want to split them am happy to take it.

Thanks!

Lardo

I’m interested in the 2nd processor user guide please.

Dust cover for the Master. I have just bought one. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NEW-Dust-Cover-for-the-Acorn-BBC-Master-by-Sherbone-Designs/173674592736?_trkparms=aid%3D111001%26algo%3DREC.SEED%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20160908105057%26meid%3Dac93bb95e31f4d7991169972990e700f%26pid%3D100675%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D15...

Wish I had some money to burn.

I would not want it shipped by My Hermes though!

Definitely a very good recommendation. A ground breaker.

And one of the few adventure games I actually managed to finish! Excellent game.

Possibly interesting fairly rare adventure games? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BBC-Micro-Games/173662564260?_trkparms=aid%3D111001%26algo%3DREC.SEED%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20160908105057%26meid%3D55f14133d0cb49ea87b2ed199d5143c6%26pid%3D100675%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D15%26sd%3D173662564260%26itm%3D173662564260&_tr...

I messaged the seller and it is a normal 80 track drive in the Challenger case and so would connect to the disc interface. He did not check to see if the RAM drive board was present. So - not really worth a look then unless you want a Beeb with solidisc sideways RAM and a reasonable looking Challeng...

Pretty good price as a Challenger generally goes for nearly £100 on its own. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Acorn-BBC-Micro-Computer-with-SideWays-RAM-Disk-Dive-65-Disks-Great-Condition/143018628538?_trkparms=aid%3D111001%26algo%3DREC.SEED%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20160908105057%26meid%3D3bb7a177f80f4ec9859eef...

I bought some pin extenders to fit my Retroclinic Pi co-proc above the NULA in my master. Works nicely.

Hello all My Apple went recently so there seems little point keeping hold of this lot. It was sold to me as working by a very reputable seller but I have not used it much. I did boot it up and it ran ok but I never got further than that. If it turns out not to work then I am happy to refund as I can...

Hope you succeed in getting it fully up and running! Sounds like it will keep you entertained in the meantime.

I would like an Atom but money keeps getting in the way. Or possibly out of the way. But you know what I mean.

A working copy of Doctor Who and the Mines of Terror.

As ever the idiot seller shipped it in a jiffy bag so there is some crushing damage to the case but it is minimal.

Is it missing anything?

Thumbs up for ‘A Special Place’ - very effective and striking.

Yes. The person had no money but a very particular set of skills. Skills aquired over a very long career.

Assembler and Conpanion books taken.

Taken.

The CPC does have some impressive games for it - Sorcery was pretty good as was Prince of Persia. A lot were just awful Spectrum ports though. I believe you can get an aftermarket PSU these days along with a TV adaptor but no idea how much such things cost. Edit - Mark just said that while I was typ...

Along with a nice copy of Dungeon Master I got these:- 5F358570-9207-47C3-A75C-27A215D3D309.jpeg EF075D62-A02A-409C-BD1E-257191FDAEA6.jpeg 687B076E-D0F3-4C82-80B4-59207ECB0F37.jpeg They have not been tested extensively but all boot to the main menu or in the case of the tank game, the game itself.

Hello all These arrived with some other Sinclair stuff but I don’t have a QL. If anyone wants them then just the price of p&p (from the UK) please! They are all in reasonable to good condition. PM if interested. :D 5E532527-C552-4F5D-92D1-8DD783B7483B.jpeg 9A718A44-3E80-4AE1-9714-7F72B402D7D0.jpeg

If in doubt try Mark at Retroclinic!

Lardo, you can pm him with your email address and communicate that way if you wish!

A cunning plan!

I will take it if you still have it !

I still have it. If you have just joined you probably can’t pm yet. Best ask one of the moderators nicely!

Assuming the Royal Mail delivery to you way up in Scotland ( ) it will be £4 to send it.

Good luck fixing it!

And they arrived today, nicely packed. Thanks!

That is quite a speed improvement! I suspect some applications benefit more than others but even so.
If I remember correctly Pascal has no built in string functions so presumably would not benefit so much there as you would have to write your own.

Just wondering if anyone has had a go at producing a stand alone Pascal program (however small) and whether it works ok?
Out of interest where would a standalone Pascal program sit performance-wise compared to native BASIC or other compiled stuff like BCPL?
