Thanks for posting this improved version! I actually had this game back in the 80s, and I remember struggling through the early stages hoping that the game might improve. When the explorable plan of the ship appeared it was quite exciting - at last, something like a real game! Followed by the disap...

I know this doesn't solve your immediate problem, but i have many blank DSDD 3,5" floppies and I would be happy to send as many as you need FOC if you would be willing to cover postage. I guess it might be of help if you found that you needed to put the images onto a physical floppy... anyhow, good ...

Just had time to go through my stack of Electron User mags. I've found the ones you need :D so I'll get them in the post this next week. I noticed there were two V2 N9s :shock: The real 9 is June, however, it looks like they miss labeled Julys as N9 as well . . . Dave H. Thank you so much Mr H! You...

thanks to some very generous responses, i have updated the list above! I've also updated the site.

Stuart

So sorry to hear that. I know it doesn't help much but please know that you have friends here if need some ears to listen.

I've got most of them Stuart. I'll pm you in a bit.

that is awesome! thank you so much my friend

Hey all! I've got a few holes in my EU collection and with Chrimbo on the way the wife has kindly asked if there is anything I might like to buy myself... so i think it's time to try and complete that collection! Would anyone have any issues they'd be willing to sell? I am a few years late for this ...

Please could I submit a site name change for my site - it's now the Journey of an Acorn Electron (description is still acurate though)

Stuart

welcome WTW

A Master and and Electron in one package? Sounds like near perfection to me!
Nice work on the restoration; hope it is the beginning of a blossoming relationship.... Acorn machines are certainly an addiction

Received this last week but only just got round to opening - just what I needed!

Thanks again for your help Stuart!

ahh, that's a relief! glad i could be of help

Welcome to the forum!

Stuart

Congratulations on what has been achieved so far - this looks absolutely gorgeous and as a lifelong Electron fan I can only say that I wish there had been more like it back in the day!!

Really enjoyed watching the progress videos, too.

Thank you for asking about the elk - she's in the great care of Dave H at the moment so will live again!

I was going to ask in the other thread about your Electron but sounds like I'm not the only one wondering how the patient is!

Coming back stronger than ever!

Hi Stuart, That would be fantastic. Of course I’m more than happy to cover all time and expenses involved. Have you managed to fix your Elk?.. Are there any parts you need? Honestly, just cover the postage and I'm happy. Us Acorn nuts have to look out for each other :) I found the keyboard, looks l...

Hi Ian,

I have a spare donor keyboard in my spare parts stash the loft; let me have a look for it tomorrow. It's yours for the price of postage

Stuart

hey all! Just wanted to let you know that i have posted a new track up to my Bandcamp - fans of the game Elite might pick up a few refs in the lyrics ;) Some of the beeps in the beat sequence are sampled from my Electron (back when she was working :-| ) Anyhoo, it's a free track so please go grab it...

i am late to the party but can i add my praise for this project; beautiful work! I often sample sounds from my Electron to use in my AKAI S2000, but the closest i have come to sequencing on the Electron is a cool bleeper/drum sequencer proggy that I found a while back - I think was either a type-in ...

Good to see you again, Stu. :D I've got at least a couple of unhappy Electrons that I've not got around to (aka don't know where to start!) looking at, so can send those (probably directly to Dave H. so he can make them happy again.) But let's keep that as a plan B ... you should be able to find so...

I can repair the socket for you, however, I'm currently on holiday until mid October (instead of isolating at home we're isolating in a static caravan in Selsey!). So if you'd like to hang on? Cost of postage plus beer money :lol: Mr H; that would be awesome! I can indeed hold on... let me know whe...

Can't you remove and replace the socket, or even just solder the ULA directly to the board? I did think about trying to source a new socket and replacing it, but the ULA itself could be bust and i read that faulty RAM could cause similar symptoms so i deciced that it might be just as cheap in the l...

Hey hey all! Hope all are well! It had to happen eventually, the old elk finally died on me :( I was getting the dreaded continuous tone on startup with a yellow/red screen. Caps light on and wouldn't alter with keys. I took the ULA out and cleaned it, put back, tried gentle pressure then tried some...

hey, thanks for dealing with my ridiculously over-sized scans folks... i got a bit carried away there i think

Yes I dropped Facebook like a hot potato a little while back and my general connectivity to social media tends to be a bit sporadic... That Facebook group that you mention, the Electron Forever one, that's Anthony Ogden's project he was doing a magazine in both PDF and hardcopy along the lines of El...

Noice!! :D I'm trying to compose a tune for my latest demo on the Electron. Maybe this will help me to get some inspiration! Hope it helps! Your demoz are awesome, btw. I especially like #3. Keep up that work; we need more of that on the Electron! Hi Stuart, just a little note: Nice to hear from yo...

Here's a bit of fun for you Elk users; it's a tone-generator/noise proggy that I've made with a few options (my fav is 'freestyle' mode 99))

It may well work on Beebs too, it does work in emulator but is a bit wobbly. I recommend a real live Electron.

Have fun


Stu

Welcome! 8-bit rulez and that's a nice collection you've got by the sound of it

20 LET ACORN$="awesome"
30 IF SPECCY$="awesome" THEN PRINT "that's cool too"

Stuart

hehe, don't worry Dave, the Electron is still a happy elk with all systems go, I just always wanted a 128 too ;-) Thank you Martin; glad you like the piccy lol With the User Port, I was thinking more of a switcher or similiar as I thnk I would only need to use one or the other, not both at the same ...

Martin, thank you so much! Now that I have UPURS for my Master 128, my world is complete again! Outstanding piece of kit, just like Elk EUP 8) To celebrate, here's a piccy that I drew in AMX Super Art and transferred across to the PC to test the new cable out. AMX Super Art is state of the art compa...

I have this - Stuart I can happily loan/post you the manual if you're happy to do a nice scan? Thanks for the responses guys; it does indeed look like an awesome piece of software! Dave, that would be awesome; thank you! I would be very happy to do a good scan of the manual if you could loan it to ...

Hey all, how's tricks? Forgive me if I have missed this somewhere, but I'm searching for a manual for Studio 8 on the Master/Beeb; does anyone have a linky for any scans? If it hasn't been archived I'd be happy to purchase one off anyone who has a spare kicking about and then scan it in for posterit...
