Fascinating Really cool collection there! (apart from when powered on and glowing)

They are cmos and run off AA batteries, so I don't think it will be anything too taxing

Can I take this please?

You really need 16k, some of the games carts are cool. Gorf was excellent.

Not bad for a freebie! They are pretty basic (no pun). I don't think they had the charm of a zx81

I had no luck in getting the SCSI2SD work on my SASI equipped X68000 Pro II, but it ran straight away on the SCSI equipped X68000 XVI. It also needed powering separately.

Good work!
Glad to see you keep a fire extinguisher on standby...

A pair of clean underpants in a glass case would of been more appropriate

Wow!

I think a danger Will Robinson Robbie the robot animated gif meme would be most appropriate here!

lol that's the one! I'll offer to help by standing in the corner with my back turned and my hands over my ears, while holding this expression >_<

I drag this icon to a directory on my IDE DOM. Wot's an IDE DOM? The I drag the DOM icon to the BeebArc icon in the icon bar. The file linked to in a later message contains a 32-bit ADFS disk image (&800-byte directories, labelled 'Nick', floppies typically 800K or 1600K). BeebArc can only extract ...

Wait, what was that pink thing that just went streaking past my window?

Was it him from No. 36 again??

That photo reminds me of when Frank Spencer breaks the computer at the labour exchange

I know, VP - that's why I mentioned it. Spotted the holes in the picture you posted. So here's the thing. How hard would it be to upgrade your machine to 32k? I'm thinking sockets an prototyping wire... Ah, I even read your last paragraph too :oops: It sounds like a good project anyway, although I ...

I have two of the beasties. One's a 9" 4016 that I upgraded to 32k and the other is a 4032 "fat 40" that's been upgraded to 80 columns so it's at 8032 spec. Also has an additional 64k memory card (currently untested) that takes it to 8096 level. I use a small SD card based device called PetDISK to ...

I've got an old PET that I saved from being skipped. Not really done anything with it, the last time it was powered up, the keyboard didn't work. It's a nice ornament though, and the screen glows reassuringly at night.

Is it WOPR?

Here are the magazine photos, also includes an Acorn User binder, and also some other mags with BBC/Archi news! http://www.zen70509.zen.co.uk/mags/mag1.jpg http://www.zen70509.zen.co.uk/mags/mag2.jpg http://www.zen70509.zen.co.uk/mags/mag3.jpg http://www.zen70509.zen.co.uk/mags/mag4.jpg http://www.z...

Would anyone be interested in doing a trade for my Acorn User/Archi World magazine and coverdisk collection? floppies2.jpg floppies1.jpg I'll post pics of the magazines Tuesday night, all owned from new. Interested in a trade for hardware (what have you got gathering dust?) I'll cover cost of magazi...

Cheers!

Way too young I think, I've tried a few on linkedin, but I think since we are talking mid 60's onwards, age wise, they could be well retired

Ah I forgot to mention, age wise I think it could be mid 60's onwards.

APDL did a version on CD too, I'm fairly sure that ran on strongarms etc.

Although good luck getting hold of that

Two different versions, the Risc PC one also misses out on the music, which made it for me!

Bit of a strange request, but I'm trying to track down the programmer Steve Sutton who wrote a number of titles for the Sinclair QL in the late 1980s. He wrote the excellent ACT (Adventure Creation Tool), which I'm currently using to create my own game. I'd love to get in touch, and also see if I co...

That UK101 must have belonged to a serious hobbyist. Look at all those meticulously made home brew expansions, and imagine trying to work out what they all do. As to the price, it is proof that retro computer collectors are getting a bit silly. It had a 99p start price... :lol: at the metal drawer ...

Link?

What are the tracks like?!
