Yeah, I probably wouldn't want to put the transformer through the dishwasher lest it delaminated/went rusty

It's fine in practice. It really does require a long press to flip images, you won't do it by mistake. It can be set to remember the last used image on switch-on, which is very handy.

Welcome!

So, this thing is bloody brilliant. 8 configurations on the Master, ctrl-break to switch. Remembers last setting. No knobs, switches or holes. Upload images over USB from a serial terminal with minimal fuss. What's not to love?

Gently lever alternating ends up with a small screwdriver a little bit at a time so they don't ping out and bend the legs. Circuit diagrams are just showing you what should be connected to what. Match up the components on the board with the ones on the diagram, then you're going to use a multimeter ...

Avoid the PSU, remove the ROMs. If the underside isn't corroded don't worry about it. Tilting away from the PSU should avoid things going where you don't want them! Once the vinegar has come into contact with the battery leak, any dribbles should be neutral or acid, but just make sure they're well w...

Really no need to dilute (this is a common Internet myth that sprung up over the last couple years...) . Use neat white vinegar. I'd really advise not to use lemon juice, it's full of sugar and other rubbish. No need to add other contaminants to the board :D If you have citric acid powder by all mea...

Lots of comms roms:

I use commstar with DFS quite happily - it should be fine with any. How does the clash manifest itself?

I think you want to get that in viewdata mode - it'll look rather better. Any comms ROM should do the trick?

I've merged the topics.

It's a radio, no?

Afraid not. Would you mind dropping me a mail at:



- as I'd also like to arrange an AtoMMC if you have the stock

I've enabled PMs for you

I expect everyone with an Electron has a copy!

It's quite simple - just offer here and state price allowing people to buy directly, saving yourself ebay fees

Pleased it's working for you. As I said, the boards weren't designed for sockets... :? Re. Open circuit, if the lines all buzz out then they should be fine. The gerbers are OK (I've built a few of these) so if there was an open circuit the manufacturer's QC must not have been very good - AFAIK almos...

Looking good.

After some thought I've removed the marketing posts from this thread. They're off topic.

Are you offering them for sale here directly?

As per the beginning of this discussion, I think it goes back to whether or not they were completely blank from the start. Trying to format DD over something originally formatted HD appears to be the source of most issues. But basically, YMMV without modifying the controller.

Can put Econet on the network connector and Ethernet on a mini podule.

This is what I have in my A3020.

You can set the behaviour of pins 2 and 34 in the ff.cfg file if it's not doing what you want:

However, it should work out of the box pretty much - I know Simoni is happily using one on an original Arc.

What commands did you try?

This. We can't tell you what you did wrong if you don't tell us what you did!

Excellent. What does it say in the manual? I can't read it on my phone.

The ROM image is probably corrupted, the fix is to reinstall. If that doesn't work its time to try other things. That's the one and only thing you need to try to do at this point.

(and to prevent it in the future, make sure you've backed up what's on the ABR as originally suggested )

Specifically:

viewtopic.php?f=3&t=17187&p=238402#p238158

If you didn't do as suggested then a way needs to be found of making the relevant tape...

It's more likely to be the card than the plus one. Easy things first. Get that reinstalled and go from there. I'm afraid I can't help with that bit, as I don't have one up and running - user guide here: viewtopic.php?f=3&t=5672#p66117

Reload it all from the backup?

Or the ROM is corrupted in the ABR?

beeb.mmb is a single file containing 512 disc images. You need to use different software to add/remove images from that file. If you've saved something to a disk image on the elk then it will be saved to an image which is stored in the beeb.mmb file.
