Re: Acorn Electron issue - be gentle with me...
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...

Re: A bit of fun: Which version of BBC Micro is the best?
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..
