Thanks Kazzie, I will certainly do that asap. It’s an Issue 3 board.

I do have another self-inflicted problem now though – I’ve broken one of the male terminal posts at VCC3. The spade connector was stiff but I did think I was being relatively gentle!

Thanks for the reply Kazzie, you’re always helping me out! Yes the speaker is definitely connected correctly. Yes I have tried booting with the jumper on S25 moved and also with the jumper removed. I can borrow a multimeter, but if you remember last time was the first time I’ve used in all my 48 yea...

Hi all. Exactly one year after I got it, it has stopped working :( It has been behaving badly recently, often displaying 16K instead of 32 and also the common graphics corruption - Ferranti 5C094E-3 ULA (1982). So today I decided to clean up the ULA by removing the decades old thermal porridge and u...

Scans of Christmas Adventure from Acorn User, January and February 1984.

Anyone?

All makes perfect sense. Thank you both.

Is there a "correct" or "recommended" layout? Does it matter? From what I've seen and read the defaults appear to be:

Issue 7
IC51 - OS
IC52 - BASIC
IC88 - DFS
IC100 - Empty
IC101 - Empty

Issue 3
IC51 - OS
IC52 - Empty
IC88 - Empty
IC100 - DFS
IC101 - BASIC

Anyone?

Thanks Hoglet.

Pm sent - I have to have a clearout! The Electron Cassette 50 tape arrived today. This collection of 'Naff' games is now complete. (On to the next collection of something.... ha ha) Many thanks to [@iamaran] for the swift shipping and excellent price! Glad to have been able to help. OMG - do I have...

You don't have to take all three.

Not neat, not clever, not quick, not elegant but this is what me and my son did together a few years ago to find the first 100 primes. He was around 10 years old and was keen to learn the basics (no pun intended) of programming. We added in line 80 when he realised that although the number was not p...

It's playable to the end, with no further manual lookup checks!

Super, let us know if you're able to complete the game and if so, whether there are any further checks along the way. Thanks Aran!

I've encountered a problem or two, but it looks like it will be possible to complete it. It will take me some time!

Great! I don't suppose you have a save-state from shortly before the copy protection question kicked in? If so, could you replay it up to the same point, as it'd be useful to establish if the questions vary or whether the same question is repeated ... ? I absolutely do, 11 moves prior. When I reply...

As for the docs, there was one generic manual to cover all formats ... hopefully this will do the trick:

(In this instance, 'do' appears to be the word in question)

That works.

Following the solution on CASA, I can get to the end of part 1 - THROW SPEAR - but then there is a manual lookup copy protection check. "What is the word at page 5, line 8, word 5?" See screenshot.

I know it's... not very good but someone must want it?

As title.

As photo.

Someone in my class at school in the mid 80s had 8-inch floppy drives rigged up to his; I think he said his dad had obtained them. I can't give any other details except I recall they were in a cabinet of some sort and were huge.

I'm looking forward to playing Aussie Suds when I return shortly from my hols, can anyone confirm please how many parts there were to it and how many parts have actually been archived ? I'm struggling to check myself on this crappy old iphone. Just one part on the Electron User tape, as far as I'm ...

Here's a quick snap of the one inside my model B.

Looking to the positive, it wasn't that long ago that he was officially pardoned. So the timescale from being exonerated to being honoured on a banknote is quite astonishing, refreshing and welcome.

A few months ago I was given two box files stuffed with BBC listings cut out from various multi-format magazines - Popular Computing Weekly , Your Computer etc. Attached is a catalogue of these and I will scan any listings that anyone would like to see. Where the issue or page number is unknown, it ...

Yes, I'll gladly ship to France and I'll send you a price in a private message soon.
Obviously I can't guarantee:

a) they will work
b) they are actually for the DECmate/Rainbow just because that it what it says on the labels!

I was given these as BBC floppies, however they are labelled as formatted for the DEC Rainbow 100 / DECmate / DECmate II. There are 13 in total (10 in sleeves) in a grubby hard box. Obviously it'd be great if they went to someone who could verify there's nothing of use on them that's of importance t...
