I've ordered one of those to hopefully let me use a CPC 3" drive on a Tatung. Might be of some use?

Oh hai!

I do love the speccy palette, those colours are just about iconic.

Half the size if not more!

Maybe someone down south could collect it and divvy the bits out to everyone, with everyone donating to the British Heart Foundation as requested. I'd be interested in the 3" drives, and 3" disks.

Couple of Tatties in time for tatty picking week

Starting a Tatung forum, hopefully give this almost forgotten machine a home

Looks great

Would it not be the same, being for a 3" drive?

Would one of those work as a second drive? It's a direct replacement drive for 3" drives.

Guilty by association I'm afraid. These people are the reason why games and machines are so expensive now.

Shame B&H gone to ground

Youtubers who sit in front of walls of goodies should be hanged.

@lardo it can’t be worse than the msx version, that’s terrible

It's probably the same, the Tatung is a very close relation to an MSX.

Gah, sounds like we are out of luck

The 256 is a lot more of a compact model too.

Ah that would be a real shame The website is still there, one of the phones rings too. Seems like I've discovered them just too late

Tatung Einstein 256 Wanted. I can't seem to get in touch with B&H Computers at all. Any ideas or Tatung thoughts?

My Alpha was the only machine I wish I'd never let go. Although it went to a good home. The best classic Acorn machine in my opinion. Big CPU grunt and RO3.1.

It gave me a headache just reading it

PDF Manual

If I remember right before I sold it, I wanted to do a video of it, but it looked like it needed some serious learning before you could play it properly. I have a feeling it had proper motion style mechanics, that needed a counter thrust in the opposite direction.

Horace and the Spiddas

On a totally unrelated note, I've been doing some retro computer liveries for the game Gran Turismo Sport on PS4. http://www.zen70509.zen.co.uk/gt/zx80rear.jpg http://www.zen70509.zen.co.uk/gt/horace.jpg http://www.zen70509.zen.co.uk/gt/zx81side.jpg http://www.zen70509.zen.co.uk/gt/qlfront.jpg I'll ...

I’ve always been somewhat fascinated by the QL. Is there much software for it? And much of a current scene? Has it had stuff ported to it over recent years like the beeb and Commodore platforms have? Get one and get yourself over to the forum :D There are people porting software and stuff. A lad I ...

Who else uses your internet?

I recently picked up one of these, I wonder if its possible to read the floppies on an amstrad or speccy +3.




Japanese version of KnightLore too!

Are we any closer to a turbo ram style upgrade? I would love one for my old A3010
