Lots of times - at least 40 judging by my feedback. I buy a lot of my Sinclair refurbishment stuff on there - membranes, ZX8-CCBs, chips, ZXpands etc.

It doesn’t have such a large customer base but there is always sell my retro dot com. Seems like a smaller but nicer community.

Can you not get them struck off again and block the buyer? Surely if he has to justify the comments to eBay he will not be able to?

Any idea which of these options is best? Depends whether you want to compile on the BBC or not. If not, the native ARM core is the best as it's the quickest and has the most memory. If you want to compile on the Beeb, I think the 32016 and ARM2 work well. There are some useful options for the x86 a...

Would BCPL, the forerunner of both the 'B' and 'C' programming languages, be a suitable substitute for these folks who are looking for a C-compiler for the Beeb? I know I go on about this a fair bit but I think the easiest and best way to get a C compiler on the Beeb is to use a Pi co-pro. There ar...

Is Acornsoft BCPL, the forerunner of both the 'B' and 'C' programming languages, a suitable substitute for these folks who are looking for a C-compiler for the Beeb? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BCPL I guess it depends what they want to do. If they want to write in a structured language that is co...

I suspect Mark at retroclinic can probably supply the appropriate cables ready to go.

20 downloads. Anyone got anywhere?

Yes, but that was the Master one complete with manual. Same software, same cartridge, different box.

Not being a games player, I haven't played LISP. Who has the high score?

Think Jonathan woss has high score

I have not had time to figure out how to get disk images onto my beeb yet so I was wondering if you had tried this with The Shadows of Sergoth? A truly impressive game. No - I've not tried that one and I've still not set my Pi co-pro Beebs back up again after Saturday's show :oops: Does it need a 6...

Thanks.

What are the NULA settings for the blue and gold please?
They are very faithful to my CPC and I would quite like to default my beeb to using them in two colour modes.

Finally found time to download this. Awesome!

I’m not sure what is more impressive - that people can homebrew something like this or that the hardware is capable of running it (even with modern help)!

Its the postage that always gets me on these. I would never post without full compensation and £3 does not offer that!

Value for money is very subjective! Everything I have bought I consider to be good value for money. Looking at the boobip stuff it looks good for the money (and I will order some at some point). For example I bought a Turbo MMC when I first got back into retro stuff - I considered it to be very good...

Ebay is certainly biased towards the buyer. I guess it is their business model to make sure people can buy with confidence. I have seen some absolutely ridiculous negative feedback over the years as I always read it before taking a view on whether to buy or not (as a seller I appreciate your positio...

I have two 6128s (one broken, one working) and while they are "good" in the sense of being well rounded machines, they're also quite slow compared to their contemporaries (quite a few of which I also have). "Slow" in the "subjective user experience" sense of the word. I only got it yesterday so not...

And the colour monitor rocks!

Yes its extremely good - any way I can connect my beeb to it?

I've been after a C6128 for a while, but not found one that ticks the boxes yet

The prices are high on these considering how many were made and most people are reluctanct to ship due to the monitor. Its taken a while to find one.

Finally got one of these. I used to enjoy playing Sorcery and Gauntlet on my mate’s 464. I wasn’t planning on keeping the monitor as it takes up so much space bur really loving the image quality on this. You can’t beat a CRT for some things. It is a struggle in 80 column CPM mode though. 5 mins to f...

Blimey. Here I am stuck on level 6!

First couple of attempts. Not showing the scores of the games before I remapped the keys in beebem...

I need to load this on proper hardware.

I feel I ought to have a go at this one!

Hi,

(some will remember)

I used one a few years ago:

Greetings, Wim...

I’m looking at that and thinking doing that would free up a lot of space on my desk...

I got one of these:- https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/New-Commodore-64-C64-and-C64C-replacement-power-supply-PSU-5VDC-9VAC-UK-plug/112636456654?_trkparms=aid%3D111001%26algo%3DREC.SEED%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20160908105057%26meid%3Df3ea6b2b3c0549fcafc61500712a3ff8%26pid%3D100675%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D15%26mehot%3Dpp...

Oo, plywood and perspex. Classy! I had this made for my early (fairly) issue one Spectrum:- 3153FF2C-47AA-454C-8FDF-B5D5FAE3AEF5.jpeg Given that his Spectrum is only worth about one hundred pounds tops that means his case must be worth nine hundred! Mine has museum grade uv resistant anti-reflectio...

£999. Wow. I just put a fully refurbished Spectrum on eBay for £50. Maybe I need to add a case and increase the price somewhat?

i'm sure it is rare, possibly a bit steep?

1,000,000 EUR!

Looking good! Nice to see somebody making stuff out of ‘unobtainium’. Can’t wait to (hopefully) buy one!
