Well received my USB today..
Oh my word... what an awesome piece of work...
Pretty much anything you can imagine relating to the Electron is on here ! Software, books, magazine scans... superb..
Congratulations Dave on a wonderful effort , and thankyou, I love it..

Oooo.... Can't wait for the USB stick....

I sold my old Master on ebay years ago because of precisely those symptoms. Apart from Powering on, thats all it did... silence... flashing cursor... completely dead keyboard... no response to any wiggles or removing / replacing Roms... sold it and got a lovely "new" Retroclinic one..! Didn't know a...

Is that Beeb "Maxed out" ?
Or is there anything else that could be put in / plugged into that...?

So will the Mk II have more storage then , Dave..?

More games to enjoy...?

I am just about to order another copy of the astonishing Acorn Electron World DVD , and its made me wonder is there a BBC Micro equivalent out there? A BBC World DVD ? I know there's the STH archive and BBCMicro.co.uk , but just wondered... :-k The Electron World DVD is an amazing piece of work, ful...

Hi. Literally nothing.
Apart from wiggling the ULA about, it always seems to simply put itself right..!
Just lucky i guess...?

Its something its always done, so it doesn't bother me .

Mine does that approximately twice a year, but always seems to "put itself right" .
Its done it since it was new back in the day !

Plan B ?

Its a wonder that connector does anything.
I would guess thats the cause of all the problems ?

Aren't there some clever people out there...

Thought i'd seen everything you could shove on the back of an Elk... obviously not... never seen these ever...

Pretty much every Electron ULA benefits from a little "Massage Treatment "
Mine does it approx twice a year... works perfect then suddenly not booting with a plain white or yellow screen.
Open her up, give the ULA chip a little wiggle about, and all is well...

Funny enough, my Electron isn't screwed together either, as every so often it needs its ULA "massaging" to get it to behave...

Nope. Not just you.
Get a Beeb. Remove screws.
Its like a standard thing..

For me, the Master with Retroclinic's 4 way Multi OS and internal Datacentre seems the best of all worlds... only come across Zalaga that doesn't like that version of OS 1.2 .. although i'm sure other games complain too..

Spellbinder...? One of the few Elk 5.25 DFS games if I remember?

Welcome aboard.
That intro sounded very familiar to my own experiences... apart from the Degree bit...!!

It still makes me smile whenever I plug a USB stick into my Datacentre Master...

Helloooo baby !

Mine is a 19 inch Bush LCD from Argos. About 8 years old ?
Works fine on my Master and Elk on RGB to Scart. Good, stable and sharp picture , good colours.

You beat me to it Arcadian...

A poorly ULA will give all sorts of weird and wonderful problems.. worth re-seating as Dave H suggested..

Exactly what i do with one of my DaveH ABR cartridges..

There's a Mk. 2....?

Also the AP4 has 16k of Ram onboard as workspace so it keeps page at E00, same as a cassette system, the AP3 pushes Page up to 1D00, same as the Plus 3, which is a good 3k . So you have less user Ram with the Plus 3 / AP3.

Yes.
1 x Matchbox
1 x Master 128 Internal.

Snapper is hilarious in Turbo mode ! Also try Superior's Smash And Grab or Acornsoft's Monsters or Boxer..! So funny...

Isn't it fascinating where electricity will find its way out...? ?

Hi Dave.

Yes ..A case for my AP5 please.
Not too fussed on colour..
Acorn cream nice but white more than acceptable.
