I think Jules Richardson has the ARX source... Suffice to say he's never been willing thus far to let anyone have a copy.

- yes, I will, I just need to get the bits in and find some of that magic time stuff!

Yup, I just requested them to do 3x1 panels and that's how they arrived. If there's any problem they usually email you cancelling the order, I confess I was quite surprised they didn't and it worked!

On a related note it was also suggested that the Atom forum was renamed to suggest this hint, admins!

Done

Smileys go a long way
It is just code that was there already. As I think I said somewhere else though, I'd recommend considering the zimodem fork I've got here:

https://github.com/drdpj/Zimodem

It's better firmware with more features. I've just not implemented hardware flow in hardware yet...

Yes. You can pick it up ok with ATA and words appear on the ESP serial typed on termianl, but that is about all you can do currently. wasnt sure if you had anything else in mind. Answer that question. Thanks. You really need to learn how to sound less demanding! It's a fork of open source software....

Of course, it's just a serial link - so long as you can display what they're sending.

Good work. Hot air would have got it off without lifting pads - you can't really get surface mount components off with soldamop as it won't remove all of the solder underneath the legs...

Random question, what was the telnet server for? Not really mentioned int the docs unless I missed something. Was this for some future expansion?, or came from code sniffled from somewhere? It was in the original software. Not documented as I never played with it. I'm fairly sure if you telnet into...

You could attack it with something like krust? I'd personally get them out as it'll be around the inside edges of the holes...

Hello! No - I managed to get it to format, and set the label, but there were things that it wasn't quite doing properly, and it wouldn't partition (it was failing on some responses to some checks by the looks of things). The real problem (despite the guy who does scsi2sd being really helpful) was th...

So, the CMOS IC could be dead, that's quite common after it's been pickled. The other bits that go are the fine tracks around the resistor packs/logic ICS next to the SIMM sockets - check those circuits too, and the connections back to the VIDC20.

Paulv has a good decoder here:

Bring them to abug and we'll demould them gently before inserting them

Ergh... OK - the only other thing to change out (as you've said you have no test gear) is IC10? It's a 74LS259, and should be fairly easy to get hold of?

The driver installs weirdly in windows 7 and 10. Find the Bosa driver in devices (USB serial I think) and then update, have disk, point at the kryoflux driver directory.

d.

ICs 31 and 32 are immediately responsible for controlling ic 3 - I'm not saying replace, but can you check they're behaving as they should (not studied the schema long enough to work that bit out myself)? That's where I'd start looking at this point.

d.

Just get a standard one:

We can walk you through flashing it and pimping it!

You'll also need a USB A-A cable:

Fear not Nutter - pedantry sometimes appears. Asking is the right thing to do, and none of us are psychic (most of us are silly). BeebArc is indeed mentioned as something that can cope with archimedes disc images in many places. Alas I'm not sure how to use it. I really do recommend the gotek route ...

No but if you bring it along next month I'll bring the kryothingy along and we can try and pick it apart?!

d.

Errr - it was never released on the electron AFAIK?

my bad - it was. It'll be DFS &1900?

d.

Message Arcadian on this forum!

d.

If I were you I'd invest in a couple of £12 gotek floppy emulators, then you can just dump the images on a USB stick and the beeb will treat it like a normal disk drive

You need to buy the physical copy to get the image. Try messaging Arcadian on here?

d.

Waiting for a key to be released then pressed again? Bit of a weird clunky construct though!

Carry on here if you like - the GEM discs aren't a normal format. The first one is a strange hybrid ADFS format, the later ones are an 800kb acorn format (actually the same as the archimedes format) - however, the images are online: http://www.cowsarenotpurple.co.uk/bbccomputer/master512/system.html...

Hullo Ari

Clearly a colin attempt at ADFS sabotage
