thank you again for continuing with this lurkio!

I do know on a mac, Preview will allow you to drag and drop pages into an existing PDF. This works for single or multiple page PDF's, and .jpg's. edit: sorry, missed one post above where I think you said the same thing!

1978-06 looks good, 78 pages 1978-07 also good, 80 pages lurkio, the sept issue here: https://www.americanradiohistory.com/UK/Personal-Computer-World/70s/Personal-Computer-World-Vol.1-No.5-S-OCR.pdf looks good, do you want to substitute that one? I'll restart on checking the files I have, and will p...

Hi everyone 1st, THANKS to Lurkio for undertaking this for us! I assume everyone's as excited as I am to see these in the wild? Please can some volunteers check Lurkio's links and see if they look good to you? he has 25gb of uploads on the way for us and needs your help. feedback in this thread. tha...

Finally! In a rather convoluted path, someone I know has got his relative to finally share a ton of PCW scans to us. They haven't arrived yet, but I'm told its a complete archive of every PCW, issue 1 to sometime in 1984. I had a few PDF's 2 or 3 years ago, but he wouldnt share more.. the PDF's are ...

welcome Jeramy while you're waiting for a Beeb (you gotta get one!) do have a look on ancestry.com. it's very easy to go back a hundred years or two (depending on census availability) and you might find links to certain towns. Google maps is a godsend once you have census records. I found great grea...

..highly recommend Steve Wozniak's book iWoz

photo's added of the offending adaptor.

apologies, months after I got mine going, I still didnt post a picture of the card that didnt work. I'll do that (as soon as I find it! sorry all who helped..)

welcome!

More Ian's!

Hi ian! great news, I found the weak point in the chain - my ide>sd adaptor. the little swine no longer works. I am sure I used it in an amiga and I used the same model in an a3020 but here, with the SD cards and Micro-SD cards I have now, its not playing ball. I posted in the 'how to format on a ri...

a ha!. I may have it working I found a different adaptor, a CF shaped adaptor that takes amicro sd, plugged into the ide>CF adaptor... works! thus far, drive 4, then free show 148480 bytes free. right, back to the pi to copy stuff over and see for sure it works. thanks for guidance. So, my ide>sd ad...

hi I'm using the exact same heads, cylinders, no long file names as per the 1st post. hopefully that lot adds up to under 512mb - can you suggest an alternative set of numbers that are also known to work? tried 3 sd and micro sd cards and adaptors, and also a compact flash card. i had suspected the ...

hello, old thread:) using a recent version of risc os on pi, I am having trouble initialising SD cards for use in an a3010, under ZIDEFS. The A3010 thinks the cards are not initialised (even though under risc os on the pi, they show fine and i can copy to and from) the guide here mentions using !HFo...

hello if there was a printed sheet I must have lost it, I've had the board for some time. I've attached pictures of the IDE>SDcard adaptor. I think I bought this after recommendation in another thread but I've never used it. Certainly it could be the issue. I dug out a Compact flash adaptor and usin...

hi! thanks for help :) I therefore dont know where I got the DOM from, I'm presently back to using a short IDE cable and the CD card adaptor. I didn't know the !configure tool woudn't work in this case. When I middled clicked on drive 4, i got the same error. So I removed the drives from the "config...

Hi ian Sorry (SORRY!) for the months in-between my random questions about the V2 ide board. My a3010 has been in Corfu with the Corfiot fixing it for a few weeks. But now its here! it works! .. and only now am I getting the v2 ide podule up and running. I hope its still ok I post here. Again, sorry ...

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?

Tia:)

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...
