2) Yes. Or use D-BREAK and A-BREAK on a Master That doesn't switch between DFS and ADFS. That resets the computer with the side effect of selecting a filing system. Completely useless for a program trying to access different filing systems. LOAD f$+" "+STR$~mem%:PRINT "I now want to access ADFS, pl...

Great work - seems it's not possible to use the viewdata terminal with anything other than 7E1 - who ever thought that was a good idea?!

Hey Walter :) You can get away with a standard PC floppy drive (you'll need to set it to be drive 0, they're set as drive 1 by default) - but you could put a gotek with flashflopppy in it instead and remove all hassles of getting things onto 3.5" media? The RiscPCs weren't so compatible with the ear...

Hullo there Chris

That was outstanding - not just the CRTC, but honestly, no one ever managed to coax such wonders out of the 78469 back in the day. Lurkio's right - you are the magic people

(Just ran it on my master - substantially better than it looks on an emulator! )

I wouldn't lash something up to give 3.3V - it won't be particularly accurate. There are plenty of devices that will do the job for you though, regulators as you say, and these little wonders too: https://uk.rs-online.com/web/p/switchin ... s/9068478/

Someone actually paid the asking on this one...

OK - the majority of people who opined went for option 1, so things will stay as they are - those who don't want to see the edit messages (it doesn't mean anything's substantively changed, it's probably just fixing of typos or the like!) - as above, in your control panel there's a "style" you can se...

I, for one, am impressed

Soldered. If you ever remove a chip, and there's space, always stick in a socket - it makes life easier in the future if it goes pop again

Ahah! If you get under it with a stanley knife it should just peel up (go from the edge of the board, not the middle of the screw).

Just under 5 hours left to opine in this poll!

Pictures of what you're talking about will really help - can you upload a couple?

d.

There's no such thing - it's only available as a download, as it was only ported to the Master in the last year

That's an official extension - I'm happy to add it if people want it?

The only reason to change any caps in the atom is if the video is looking a bit shonky. Or it's broken and a capacitor is the root of the problem :D I will dispel this myth that all old computers must be recapped... :D I think it's put about by people who want to make a quick buck much like roofers ...

I had sticky pads and the lid seemed a better place for it to be louder? I bloody hate hot glue. Sticky pads are a bit less permanent. It was simply an arbitrary decision. Don't read anything into it.

Actually, further

Probably worth having a look at this thread: viewtopic.php?f=3&t=15076

I run through commstar, and using the NodeMCU - the basic principles are exactly the same though

Edited at least 6 times because that’s how I’ve always tuned posts for the last 10+ years on here...

Big hugs Martin - every time you're posting at the moment all I can see is rocking Stewie!

For drag soldering I use one that's the BC shape from hakko - I'm sure there's equivalent for your iron: https://www.hakko.com/english/tip_selec ... _bc_c.html

I'm pretty sure TheCorfiot has some SmallyMouse 2's still?

It looks thoroughly beautiful you're a bit of a wizard (but I've said that before, I'm quite sure)!

Check the voltages coming out of the PSU. And the fuse in the plug. don't fret the mains stuff, just don't touch it whilst it's on, and use a screwdriver with a nice rubber handle to discharge the mains caps after you turn it off...

Weeelll - I don't think it's going to work for you. You definitely need something to convert the signal.


d.

How exactly are those cables wired? I don't know of any VGA monitors that will accept a composite signal on their inputs, especially not one with a horizontal frequency of 15KHz like the beeb puts out? You need something to actually electrically convert the signal from composite to VGA, e.g.: https:...

I have done the sth one before converting to hfe, but I *think* the latest firmware should auto-pad trunkated SSDs/DSDs? I'm assuming you've spotted: https://stardot.org.uk/forums/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=13718&start=30#p190521 d. Edit: - Yes, since 0.9.20a https://github.com/keirf/FlashFloppy/releases

Yeah, they're a bit quiet- you can up the volume in the ff.cfg. In so far as the USB configuration, there's very little to know - just drop ssd/dsd/adf files onto the usb stick, and ensure the line host = acorn is in the ff.cfg file :) You can arrange by directory or however you like, and use a FAT ...
