How would you go about using the &3C00 buffer process?

Bump.

Interesting article?

Found a couple of manuals that are duplicates. Both are in fairly good condition. These are up for £5 plus p&p for both (paypal friends and family please!). The p&p will be £4 in the UK for Royal Mail 2nd Signed for. If it turns out to be less will refund the difference. 4F303326-6C01-4E03-A083-B858...

Very interesting.

Both programs create 20 different Mode 7 screens in the Beeb's main memory, then change registers 12 and 13 of the 6845 CRT controller chip to change the 'Display Start Address' to cycle through the 20 screens to produce the animated images of Miner Willy and Technician Ted. I didn’t know you could...

As it is for many good causes I have bought one.

Very clever!

Nice! And very good luck with it.

Mark at Retroclinic may be able to help.

A very nice copy of BCPL Standalone Generator and license document to fill in! I wonder if they still want £250 to distribute stuff...

No disc but I had the disc and no box so it worked out well!

Just the calculations package to find now.

In a world of disposable electronics its good to see someone trying to repair something for a change.

Welcome!

Somebody had to ask:

What are all 31 versions?

Definitely Chuckie Egg. Great fun and easy to get into.

I would also include Elite to show what could be achieved on such a limited resource machine.

Everything is now on its way to its new owner except for poor lonely Soft VDU.

All now gone except for Soft VDU.

I'll take them all except Soft VDU if that ok.

PM sent.

I thought they ‘only’ went for a couple of hundred thousand dollars, not nearly two million!

Don’t talk to me about Life.

Atom Forth Utilities.

Hi Mike

Welcome! Good luck with the Electron tape. Did you go for the Atari one on eBay?

Hello all I recently got this haul of Atom software but don’t want to add yet more collecting madness to my already strained retro-spousal relationship. Plus xmas is approaching... These are all up for £20 each (plus p&p from the UK) and are untested. My tape player chewed up a copy of Pentagram for...

Nice! Poster for me as well please!

The 256 is tiny by comparison!

Also includes this which appears to still be sealed.

Had the mobile version of TKV done well then I suspect Trevor might've produced the sequel but, from his interview in The Classic Adventurer, it doesn't sound like much work was ever done on the Valley of Gold game. I bought the mobile version for the Nokia (I think) I had back then. It was hard wo...

Free for p&p only:

A few bits and pieces that came with a recent purchase.

All in Dutch. This lot weighs about 1KG without packaging.

An instant Acorn Atom software collection. No idea if they work and will probably not find out after my tape player chewed up a copy of Pentagram for the Speccy. :shock: EC48006A-ECD2-4438-BAC7-596CB032CCFE.jpeg Sadly (now that they have arrived) I will not be keeping these as they were bought in an...

And Sinclair QL (https://qlwiki.qlforum.co.uk/doku.php?i ... comco_bcpl)

Would it not be the same, being for a 3" drive? :?: :D Its down to the wiring in the computer not necessarily matching the pin out of the gotek. Specifically around the power supply. I think the correct power pin for these is different in the block connector between Spectrum and Amstrad so could be...
