They are less common than BBC B, BBC Master and Election machines.

They are common as muck at the moment ..

https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/ could use this proggy, it does lots & speed tests 8) Can recommend this as well - my DSLR has a habit of seemingly "mangling" SDHC cards to a point where the camera itself and Windows cannot/will not read or reformat them - somehow, this little prog does the trick ...

Here's 88 - I've no idea where I found it...

BeebEm seems not to like .adm files. Can't try it on my Master as I'm 700 miles away in Arcachon.

Profitez du forum - c'est un endroit vraiment super.

Do I need to install each BIOS upgrade or will the current one contain all the previous upgrades? I used to provide IT support for a company which standardised on Dell for laptops, so am quite familiar with the BIOS updates - the latest version will contain all the updates provided in earlier versi...

Hi Chris,

And the same festive wishes to all - wherever you may be, and what ever your expertise, experience, or location - from here in a madhouse (16 people - half of which are between 5 and 14 -high on chocolate and behaving like -well- kids, four of which are over 65 and asleep in front of the TV, and fou...

I was on schools duties (oh great ...), so pulled my coach off the A272 and into a car park near Petersfield at about 11:05 - explained to the teacher what I was doing and why, and she relayed that to her colleagues and to the kids. Of the thirty-odd teens on board, only twelve joined me outside (pl...

It seems to me that the vast majority of UK yachtists (or WAFis...) show no regard for any maritime regulations. I was on the bridge of Brittany Ferries' latest addition "Baie de Seine" (very nice for an "économie"-class ship - miles better than the truly horrid "Etretat") back from Bilbao on Wednes...

Welcome! As a coincidence I'll be in Guidford on the 30th because the narrowboat we hired departs from there. Any must-visits in Guildford? :D Not a great deal really. The town centre is rather nice, with old buildings and cobbled streets but unless you've got a car to get to some of the stately ho...

Greetings James, Welcome to the forum - I'm another South-coaster (Southsea) but my 'ikkle brother lives in Ash, so I'm up your way frequently (daily if we run out of drivers for the NatEx 030 Southsea/Fareham - VCS :evil: ) We're a friendly bunch, so enjoy - and welcome onboard! ATB, Matt Southsea-...

The problem I have with this initiative is that at least 80% of these devices will never be used because; a) they will be delivered faulty and not be replaced Surely an issue between the manufacturer and the recipient? Unfortunately, the BBC can't really be held to blame for sloppy manufacture, use...

Is this a good use of my licence fee? :evil: I tend to agree with that sentiment, but if they *do* sack Clarkson, then they should be able to afford it :wink:. Possibly the worst mistake they'll make, as TG is a major revenue stream worldwide - the licence fee may well have to go in place of advert...

. It might be a good idea if I start a new thread and post the CSV file and monthly updates. :) That'd be great - my own archive of software (*) is due for a bit of a tidy-up when I get a spare few hours (**), and a list of all the educational stuff would be really handy. Not only that, but I'm lov...

Anyone got a list of significant Acorn events from 1985 and 1989 that 2015 can be the 30th and 25th anniversaries of respectively? The morning of Dec 25th 1989 witnessed me excitedly unwrapping a brand new BBC B and then hogging the TV in the lounge for about a fortnight until my parents became so ...

A schoolfriend of mine received one of these for Xmas BITD (think it was 1983 +/- a year, and I was blown away by the space game "Parsec" on cartridge.

My two pins added - home (Southsea) and second home (Falaise, France) added (as I spend roughly half of the time in each). Perhaps I should have stuck myself mid-channel?

Within Outlook 2010 I've created a personal folder file (archive.pst) which contains everything that I've kept since 1999 - this is separated into folders (Friends, work stuff, transport etc). The view applied on the 'Friends' sub-folder is to group all emails therein by sender, then by date, so I c...

My first Electron came from the (aptly titled) Electronequip in Fareham's West Street, as did my BBC B a few years later. As far as I can remember, that was the only dedicated computer shop in Fareham (apart from the obvious WHSmith, Boots etc.), but I seem to remember there was an independent retai...

For some reason, it's "booting" into the View wordprocessor, rather than Basic. To get it back to "Master 128" mode, hold down CTRL and the space-bar, then hit Break .

Popped into Boots' in Portsmouth today with youngest (and blondest) daughter (4yr old and too chatty for her own good). After about 10 mins looking lost, an assistant approached me - explained what I was after, and she pointed directly down. Picked up three bottles, at which point Chlöe turned round...

Why on earth did anyone bother to YouTube someone reading a webpage? Surely a link would have done?

Complete with telesoftware?

It's actually "Escape from Moonbase Alpha", which might explain why you couldn't see it!

And hi from another Hampshire chap (Southsea)

Never played Tetris? Seriously? I didn't think that was possible!
