This too is a placeholder - for me to be there

Looks like a model B to me... When it's on press CTRL+BREAK to get the full header. If it's not doing that on power on, then there's something a bit wrong with it. EDIT: Specifically it's Model B iss.3 motherboard with the earlier "rough" case and "BBC Microcomputer" function strip which was altered...

I'd like to have a 16-bit card for one of my A310's please.

Can pick up at Wakefield too.

Thanks

Paul

I remember a Mediterranean villa and an art deco era woman. Pretty sure that was Artisan on the A310 in our art department when I was at secondary school.

Paul

I'll be there... Might need to sit down a lot this year. First time at Wakefield since the Cancer! A bit of a milestone as I've missed the last three.

Beeb and "Hybrid Music System" spotting... Don't watch, just listen! https://youtu.be/XySyFOpQs5g?t=8m Composer Patrick Gowers used the Hybrid Music System in creating the music for Granada Tv's series 'The Return of Sherlock Holmes', and wrote a special AMPLE part for a demanding atmospheric piece ...

So sorry to hear this news. Best wishes.

Does that mean I should edit my original post to be a link rather than the pdf itself? The site where I found it does allow download of the file.

Probably?! Not sure really but to be safe that may be best.

Paul

There are loads of papers about using the Beeb as part of rehab and I've gathered together quite a few that reference the Microvitec Touchtech 501 touchscreen for the CUB monitors and I've put them on my Touchtech page.... https://www.retro-kit.co.uk/page.cfm/content/Microvitec-Touchtech-501/ The pa...

To be honest, I'm not sure which connector is in my Master and it's currently buried at the back of the room seeing as Tracie has cleared out the other bedroom and put all her art materials in boxes on top of all my boxes. From memory, I think it's the locking ribbon type so we'll go with whatever i...

I'd be interested in the VFS adaptor alone as I've already got a BeebSCSI...

Does anyone know of a project box that's large enough to house a BBC Micro keyboard? I've been looking for an hour or two now and can't find anything suitable. Before anyone asks, the keyboard I have is from a very, very dead BBC Micro that someone had on Stardot many years ago and I got the keyboar...

Replacing the original PSU with a Meanwell supply may give you the extra power and stability you need...

Mine too... header was a bit squished but it appears to be physically fine otherwise.. Wont be able to test it until the new year now though

I realise the forum software hasn't been updated for a bit, but one of the reasons it wasn't updated for ages (and we got hacked) was because it's hard to do with lots of custom code bodged in. The main aim here is keeping things as vanilla as possible to ease updating (and also because in truth no...

What's odd is that when phpBB serves the image directly, the browser auto-rotates the image to the correct orientation (latest Chrome on Windows 10) so the browser is capable of orienting the image correctly...

Well, it's Birthday and Christmas season now so all my machines barring my work laptop are put away for the next 3-4 weeks so I won't be doing anything for a while :-( Oh! . . .

Thanks. It's not an Apple product, it's a Samsung Galaxy S8. I did take the photo in what I thought appeared to be the correct phone orientation but it seems that's the forum thinks that's not the case

Paul, I was shocked to hear of your cancer experience and it's great to hear you have recovered enough to have made it to ABUG. Thanks. It took two years to get to this point but it was really great to see everyone again. Regarding B-Em crashing, later on the thread Music 5000 in B-Em which you hav...

Can we do something like this:

Nothing.... Because of this...
Two Amazon orders and a BeebSCSI are somewhat delayed

Merry Christmas!

Shipping! Thanks for everone's patience most of the first batch are out the door. There are some which are awaiting the 1MHz bus connector to be soldered on (I ran out of stock) and they will go out in the next day or two.

Really? Really?

That's not even LOL price... That's just depressingly unrealistic.

Checking the other disks, this seems to be the only version of M.M5 that uses both addresses.

Excellent That's great news.

Paul

So, I took my Hybrid discs to the ABug meet in Leicester and left them in the capable hands of our very own DanielJ who has Kryofluxed the discs and converted them all to SSD's too. Going through the discs, it seems I have a couple of discs with different versions of the M5 module on and one of the ...

We could make a Midi Keyboard emulate that :D Definitely the way to go I think. Trying to get MIDI in working would require a lot of work to build a ROM to monitor the 1MHz bus for MIDI in traffic and convert it to signals to control the 5000. There'd be a lot of work to deal with voice selection t...

Hi there. I was wondering do you think it's possible or within the realms of possibility to add midi input to the emulation of Music 5000? I guess you would need the source code? Music 4000s are hard to come by now. It would be great to see some new music coming out and I'd love to have a bash but ...
