Above image is from the incredibly useful retro-kit.co.uk where I got the info about the caps:

Glad you're getting some use from the site

Paul

Thanks all

I'm good... I'll be 3 years all clear this October.

I have an awesome new selfie too
Paul

Yes, that's the one

Paul

That's great

This link is for the later A400/1 series machines

For your machine, it's IC4, leg 2 as I mentioned in a previous response.

For me, it wasn't about a killer app, it was about the killer hardware. Although if I were forced to choose an "app", BBC BASIC was a killer app BITD...

Hi Guys, Long time no speak. :D Today I made a start on clearing out the back room and looking to get it up and running as my hobby room again. As some of you know, when I was diagnosed with Cancer, everything went into storage but a fully set up BBC Micro and an Archimedes were left out on the desk...

These days you can even get RiscIX up and running with the right hardware

Also, I'm in Leicestershire so if you want some help with it, I can spare an evening or a day at the weekend but given my disability, you'd have to bring your kit to me.

Reading the document Steve has linked to: Generally, multiscan monitors require the horizontal and vertical sync signals to be supplied by the computer separately, which may be achieved using *CONFIGURE SYNC 0 followed by a Ctrl-Break. I'd have to say you need to do the following. 1. Split the compo...

The AKF50 works fine on my A300 and 400/1 series machines as it is a full multisync and is designed to support all the modes that the Archimedes can support, however, I have made the modifications to support VIDC enhancers in all of them. There are three things here as far as I see it. 1. Do you *ne...

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...

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...
