A brand new still sealed in box typewriter 'thing' had a search on Google, & the manual has never been seen before, dated 15Nov1983. & it all works with thermal paper, that was also still in a black bag too! Really should stop saving things destin for skip... The PSU is 20v AC (actually 18.6), so go...

yes working copy & video of it here :

you can see Track1 sector0 with the .DSD I posted, I used ADT rom command *DEX C
nothing can read 1to9 , not even ADI / Enigma rom
hence why no original image using .FSD files.

welcome Peter

could you take a picture of the tapes, as some are still missing from archive.

also need a picture of inside your Atom!

Good spot!
does look similar, but into a New Brain computer , thought they were only Forth language instead of Basic.
anyways, will watch the video linky when next on laptop (as my mobile can't cope )

^ yes #1 , BillCarr did mention that on one of my emails, loading the 'bad' track1 into mem &2000 to &2900 and timing things going on. Below is my DSD copy that used !Boot to do the tricks :evil: EDIT: original worked on Acorn 1770FDC DFS2.26 & Acorn FDC8271 DFS1.20 , it took about 2 seconds (utter ...

A new 51/4" 40T educational disc from 'Oneswitch'/Barrie. Olympics for a Micromike. (Graphics really good (much better than Electron User Olympic)) Track1 looked unformatted, ADI rom could not even copy it :shock: UPURS also said bad track1, end copy also no worky. Had a word with 'BillCarr' so made...

Most boring thing ever.

I am don't like watching men in shorts rolling around on a bit grass being overpaid for kicking a bit leather about

What video

Need to see it going bizarre !

https://computer-literacy-project.pilots.bbcconnectedstudio.co.uk/2d4c8e9f5a2906a80d2a517243292bdb got this link from Barrie /'OneSwitch' & thought would share, as it's Very interesting about special needs folks using computers in 1984. most of the programs are using the Micromike discs he sent me f...

^ not really, just wondered if anyone else has one / seen one. seems this is ULTRA LOL RARE, as can't find anything on this one, just 2x GPO mkA ones in existance. would not know where to start, someone has disconnected the wires in the phone to modem, & can't find any info on it at all, or pics to ...

^Helicopters, better than our outings, in mid80s our primary school only went to see the Edinburgh train station & the space /universe museum 8) or worked for a large company that had their own telecommunications / telephone system... yeah, older large hospitals have their own 'exchange', seen them ...

^yeah number2, don't plug TalkTalk, PlusNet & Sky rubbish in :lol: seems PO /GPO had total control of the market pre1970, so must be why it was all their stuff plugged in Only. here is the plug for it, I had to cut it off as the cable had turned to glue /string :( if left another year, whole thing w...

that's very good work, now my .hqUEFs are of some use just not for emulator!

The AtoMMC is just too fast compared to these 300baud files, now can have two cups of tea while loading

here is my Acorn Compact keyboard, but looks like you took off the keys & black overlay...
can't mind if mine had green solder mask or not

the pad /sqaure (exposed copper) with P1 next to it also has a green dot in middle of track leaving it, so
check that it still leaves the pad & goes to the side of the hole, or follow track to another pad /solder point
just to confirm still connected ok

I saved this BT Datel Modem No 13B ((saved from a damp /flooded ex nuclear bunker!) data plug rusted to bits), chips are dated 1982 wk23 & phone 3rd November 1977, the only info I can find is one made by PO sold on eBay (£29) but No 13A dated 1979. Other info is it was 300bits a second. Any other in...

I would scrape off the 3 green dots, just in case they are causing a short.
At P3 check if still connected to the side of the via.

I would presume the Acorn compact keyboard would be same.

welcome S

bloody roasting in Scotland too, 37oC per car wing mirror sensor!
