Re: "Minus One" - 3 x cartridge Electron expansion
I've seen a connector on eBay that's suitable for a Minus One pcb,: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Acorn-Electron-card-edge-connector-48-way-2x24-with-keyway-0-1-pitch/402542272306?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649 That one is a regular - keeps popping up - just when you ne...

Re: WD1772 FDC IC
Hi, I am looking for 2 or 3 WD1772 Floppy Disc Controller ICs for an A3000 and an A540. Does anyone have any stock, I can only find suppliers in China online and would prefer to get from a known good source if any one has a few they could spare? Try Mark Hasman at RetroClinic or Steve Picton at IFE...

Re: WANTED - Acorn Atom
Hello All, Looking for a Acorn Atom. Was my first real computer (back in the days when I was a youngster) and I would like to start some hardware projects for this computer. Maybe someone has one extra laying around (not using it) and would like to sell it to me. Kind regards, Edzard Eindhoven - Th...

Looks like it could have the ADFS ROM in there as well?

Re: Things I don't need - For Sale.
Dave, You're a bit far for me to collect. Curious as to rough costs for shipping of the scopes. Stephen Sorry, I should have marked the Yokogawa as sold (now done). The Philips PM3055 50Mhz 'scope is under offer, however, when I did a pre shipping test it had died with a dead power supply and I'm c...

Re: Acorn Electron pr0n
Yes, it's a shame about the memory decisions and lack of mode 7, but I always thought the Electron with the plus 3 really looked the part! Seconded . . . and it had the disc drive, of course. With a MRB added - well . . . :D Buying the system was a little like HP e.g. you didn't have to fork out al...

Re: B+ DFS & ADFS versions for PAGE E00
Just a thought . . . ACP produced both a DFS and ADFS E00 for the Electron. DFS was as JGH described above e.g. RAM was overlaid at the top of the 16K block for its workspace, however, ADFS E00 used a second 16K bank within an ABR cartridge. I believe both could be "PLDed" e.g. use a PLD t...

Re: Things I don't need - For Sale.
Any news on the scope? I found a Service Manual for it, as last. I'm still trying to find any sign of where failure is, however, it's been reported that the caps can sometimes be an issue. So I've decided to re-cap the Power Supply board - which is going to take a while - there's a few of them! Dav...

Re: Things I don't need - For Sale.
Is there a Gotek firmware for the Yokogawa? :wink: Sorry, absolutely no idea on that one. IIRC it's a non standard fitting e.g. it doesn't have a dedicated front panel . . . So fitting one one may be an issue, unless there's an external connector? If there is one, maybe an HXC Floppy Emulator would...

The circuit can be found here - a bit fuzzy but readable. And it specifies 4164s so it looks like your good to go.

Re: Wanted: A3000
Looks in good condition . . . it all depends how much you're willing to spend on you A3000? At the moment it's at £100 - so may be worth a punt! A good time to buy, just after Christmas . . .
