Would dielectric grease help?

What for?

The arcing switch?

I was a veteran of the speccy version which used a separate key for accelerate and another key for boost. I'm sure on the joystick this was up for forward, and fire for the boost. I recently tried the amiga version with the auto boost, and I was arl ower the shop. Didn't like it those controls!

More magic smoke? We will have to change your forum tag to Gandalf

Let's make everyone laugh...

Here, RobC? What could we do with a master, nula and Dual PI co-processor?

Quake??

If it's for games, I think an A3010 is better. Slightly faster, joystick ports, and most of the games work nicely on ro3.1. It was the gamers Acorn

It's been a long journey (although not as long as POP!) but we finally released v1.0: https://stardot.org.uk/forums/viewtopic.php?f=57&t=16655 Feel free to continue to ask technical questions in this thread! Unfortunately the game has ended up being BBC Master only due to the use of HAZEL to make 7...

Wish I hadn't got rid of my Master now

What are you gonna do with Big Bess once it's up and running?

At least you have somewhere to wash PCBs again

Ambassador, with all this magic smoke you are really spoiling us!

Just seen this! I have the old mp3s you did on my ipod! Superb soundtrack

Fry?

Ooooh, I'll check this out later I remember doing my school work experience in the mid 90s, and Durham Council still used 8" drives at depots etc.

Could u not have just took all four orders, and then refunded a small amount of postage via paypal?

I have two 6128s (one broken, one working) and while they are "good" in the sense of being well rounded machines, they're also quite slow compared to their contemporaries (quite a few of which I also have). "Slow" in the "subjective user experience" sense of the word. Don't suppose you would fancy ...

Servisol Super 10, the spray/smell of champions. Worked wonders on my old Master keys, you also dab on a little as aftershave for a night out at the solderer's ball.

I've been after a C6128 for a while, but not found one that ticks the boxes yet :( When I was kid, everyone on my street had Amstrads. So I played a lot of the games, sadly one friend passed away a long time ago, and I thought it would be nice to revisit some old games on it. I'm a speccy man throug...

Great work! CRTs terrify me!

I’d never even heard of this machine before - just looked it up. Amazing!

I have some vids of mine, on my youtube site
