thank you boydie

we're not in the middle of nowhere but thanks to BT's not-spot (we surrounded by fibre cabinets for miles, but they took our local cabinet away!) I get about 900kb ps max, and I think we're stuck at that level. would you mind sharing the model numbers of the modem/ aeriel bits you ended up with so I...

If anyone has the 3rd of June 1982 (page 7) Personal Computer World, I'd love a scan of it for a book I'm writing.

I believe this is the cover for that magazine:

PCW or Popular Computing weekly as per pic?

i got some of those sockets. They were pointless. Bas reported he had to file them down and they shattered so was a waste of time - he did it by trad soldering as you described above and reports the board works nicely. thank you. he also mentioned the boards had an open circuit on one of the address...

maybe I misread flux for paste or vice versa.

ok thanks for the tips.. I think i may just have to order the ones from the US and see what happens.

thanks!

Hello A public beg here, does anyone please have any spare sockets for the ram; SOJ-42P-400 ? Need four, happy to pay of course! I need send them over thecorfiot In Corfu.. I found a supplier but only in the USA. Bas doesn’t have flux or heat gun etc so sockets seem safest considering the size. Andy...

Advmame and its emulation of a system such as bbc /electron are launched from within emulationstation. And when you exit advmame, you return to emulationstation. So I think it works as you ask. It's cool.

Hello Just look for advmame, install that. That comes with a compiled advmess executable that runs quite nicely for BBC B and Electron. Once the B is booted, usually *exec !boot runs the disk you've mounted and *chain works everytime for electron. It works really nicely. IMHO dont bother with beebem...

thanks Daniel

I ordered the parts stevetuc, thanks also

could someone ps confirm the part numbers for crystals? I'll get an 80mhz, and a few slower ones to help find the best speed. ive read right through this thread and vectorlights site, no idea exactrly which type crystal/ part i need.

thanks

Beyond the ram, and the pcb, what are the other parts? Daniel pointed me to the layout files but stupid me I’ve just not worked those out yet! Don’t know what I’m looking for at all in the .png’s etc. When you have all the part numbers would you mind sharing?

Hi Ian i'd bought one of the 8 bit ide adaptors some time ago, but only recently found an A3010. Yay! Previously with archimedes I'd transferred software onto SD, using a pi and risc OS, so I dont think i can use a dom for that.. My question. If I want to use an IDE<>SD card adaptor (so can be writt...

thanks stevetuc for the boards, ram arrived from poland, last bits to order... build ahoy!

thanks guys

Hi I’ve ordered two sets of ram, but haven’t yet ordered boards Tbh I couldn’t quite work out how to order and knew I had to go back to work it through... I was recommended pcbway. Unless anyone suggests an easier alternative! This was using Daniels 4 layer.. all I want to do, I thought, was to uplo...

stevetuc, ive ordered myself some ram, did your boards arrive ok? If you are still unable to send PM's, ive emailed you my email address.

Dear mods, please can PM priviledges be granted to stevetuc ?

cheers:)

Hi, thats an overclock level i'd be more than happy with !

Daniel said he wasnt sure if the 4 layer would overlcock more reliably i think.I'd love to have both options tbh especially if that helps you do a small run.

I'll pm you in a sec

hi stevetuc, I'd like 2 of those boards if you dont mind

assuming they work! (not that i'm not trusting daniels work :))

My ambition is definitely to overclock my a3010. what are your speed plans? I then need source some suitable crystals.

when do you expect the boards to arrive?

TIA iain

THanks daniel. I thought those were the rams... I’ll get those faster parts on order. Will report back!

I'm about to order a couple boards and will likely ask Bas the corfiot to make a few up with faster rams. please could someone point me to the exact post with the BOM/parts I need collate? Daniel could you please check your PM's? :) I was about to order some of your last 4-layer design (if thats OK?...

Hi, you might also want to check in with thecorfiot as he’s engineered a new solution for jailbars and rotten svideo output. He’s got one of my c64’s at the moment. That’s got a lumafix already but it’s sharpened up quite a lot now! If you search archive.org tosec c64 and have some time to spare the...

Hi Andy

I have just acquired an a3010, I understand it's only 1mb.

When it shows up, if it IS only 1mb, may I please have this if it's still available?

Tia

Iain

great news!

I can recommend "adtpro" to send disk images (even a bootable image of itself) over serial or audio to the apple. Runs on windows or mac.Do you have a serial card or better, a super serial?

Hi, what slot is the disk controller in? Looking from the front, 7 is far right

Disk controller is usually in 6

At the prompt then try PR#6 ( assuming the controller is in 6). The drive should spin up.

Will pm now and arrange to send funds! Thank you again

Hi

This looks very very interesting, congrats!

If any are available, please could I buy two kits if possible- one for me and one for thecorfiot out in Greece.

Thanks in advance

Hope the request is ok

Iain

Ok Pernod.

Like I said it’s the latest that compiles or is available on retropie. So it’s academic really, it’s all there is.

Daniel yes I’ll re attach!

Anyway I hope this is useful for someone

Hello it's advancemess 3.9 I've got electron loading .uef files reliably now, inc elite, planetoids and exile. The electron driver doesnt allow loading .ssd's via the -floppy switch, so it seems to load at the same speed as tape using an .uef. emulators.cfg for electron: advmess = "/opt/retropie/emu...

I can solder but dont enjoy it. would rather find a ready made cable if i could!

thanks daniel -I'll start by looing up the din plug. ive definitely got a converter

Hi, i have a Model B & the pi co pro. Works great. BBC is modded to take a 64k eeprom image. I had been successfully using Beebaid's *tubeoff or tab/break to disable the co-pro before running games. Until recently i blew a new 64k eeprom (still containing beebaid), and now beebaid no longer works! O...

Hi

can someone suggest a suitable cable ? I have a freefi-232 and a master to get working together - I need a cable from the RS432 on the master to the 25pin female on the freefi

its about time i had it working on the bbc!

cheers!
