I got my elk to run Win10 update 7,698 & the FortNite game for the kids .....

If that was bad, would hate to see the bad comments about Dunjunz - bugByte

The Plus3 was the first for the elk from Acorn. There is MUCH better ones from Pres being the AP3 & AP4 . Also ones from Slogged & Peagasus. These are carts that just plug into the Plus1. They have external drives, either 51/4 or 3.5" I have the Peagasus with DFS @e00 so more games work easily , esp...

Why did our games not have any certification in the 1980s but now it's everywhere ? Is it just internet on line gaming swearing ?? I know music that got banned in the 80s or 90s was stupid, as it just went straight to number1 in the charts (FGTH Relax ) & rap crap had the first parental advised stic...

^yeah its a pain, happens a lot with my crap Android Kodi box, find a film thats not released for 2+ months time, & it plays this
(but I just find the right link and never been to cinema since!)

nice job Rob, but disc2 is your fav song "never going to give you up"

anyways

think will just go with Guzzlers answer, bin it less hassle :D Sold my Vax hoover again, got £92 for it again (only paid £87 :lol: ) they said thanks, so I got use of a rubbish (no pun intended) hoover for 2 month! Then I got an extra head for it as one wheel fell off (under guarantee), sold that br...

I think for the B12, it needs another board over the 6502, I don't have that, as gets the 5 feeds from my B32
pics of my bits just for clarity:

EDIT, has 5 wires not4

Aries B12 sideways ROM boards, though one of them is missing the adapter card that plugs into the motherboard sockets I have a B12 board and adaptor that covers 4 rom sockets, but mine does not work (for why I don't know..) the 2x8k ram works in other ram cards, & also when roms are on the main boa...

We need something further up (saves me travelling 5hrs at 90mph!) I stay near Edinburgh, so Newcastle is okay too, which will make it easy for Simon, & also DaveH as he stays not that far away from there either. & if only us 3 turn up, then I can confirm Simons tea is very good (no offence beebMaste...

^ yes L, seen the thread's, every day that goes past the more they degrade, makes me sad :cry: but if John got to take things home, then if jnBeeb can convince them that this is the tapes only hope /chance, & someone can hunt them out & post to me recorded delivery (like most last tapes in universe ...

^ mainly the tape itself, my £2k HiFi still does it to Prog Power tape's, especially the dark /may be carbon dioxide ones

If only TDK Dxx tapes where always used BITD, my 'job' would be so easy!!

Gidday mate

hopefully your new toy poweres up fine!!

going by Flax cottage /John's post about the museum wanting things archived , and folk can take & bring back with working archive files, would someone look out the missing tape games from the mass of boxes, & any chance they can post to myself so can work my magic on them, as getting withdrawal symp...

knew it

Would be interested in the TText adaptor, as not got any in my collection, I hate old stuff going to tip!

Will PM in a mo if someone does not take it while I've typed this...

Enjoy your Electron! pity the originals have been recorded over :shock: But usually with Prog Power tapes, same game is recorded twice on sideA, sideB is always blank, so may be the 'extra'/handwritten games are on sideB the quality of these tapes are now 70% bad, & always need tape head cleaned aft...

Thanks for checking!

I still have this first played on electron can't mind playing it much, but it is rather smooth & pretty
got to level2, score 9,620 , must try harder!

also to save re-inventing the wheel, there is also this topic for the First Byte Joystick cart too,
with some weird pic / schematic thingy-ma-bob....

I also have more language packs!

could you check out the product code on the Elite disc /box, as am sure BillC said there is still a missing version ( something to do with coPro)
he wants to archive.... unless it's found already or never existed to outside world...

^ I know a person that does, God knows everything.....

I have the complete package!
Here are some pictures of it!

why does it say Acornsoft/TDI on the manuals, whats the TDI stand for....
.... Turbo Diesel Injection....

Well he might have a better one

doubt it very much as I have three

look at your "Arcade action" case and see if there is any information about the authors in there please? Lee, I answered that years ago to you :roll: nothing on my original either! :wink: And for the Language discs, would be good =D> but probably useless without the manuals / scans. If they are lol...

think Elite was first on Acorn machines, then carbon copied came out sloppy on rubbish machines

PM is also doing it for me 2days ago (first time used in a while), it's getting weird, & hard to keep track of everything now
lifes complicated enough

very nice Nigel

wonder why they never installed DFS2.45 on them, as thats what ive stuck on my MB & works, but least they put a good FS on it I suppose!

glad you also found all those other rom images too, bet it was like a kid on a sweet shop

Hi, yes I've used one welcome David :) thank you very much for the information on this! 8) I have other old phones, even older than the one on top of this Data modem. have had them from being a kid , ie 2years old :oops: , my dad changed it so could listen to music on it, and record my voice onto r...

welcome Chad
