I suspect this would please a majority of members here.

If the reception of your talk earlier in the year on BBC Basic in the 21st Century you presented for ABug is anything to go by, then I believe nothing is further from the truth.

I watched half of the Daniel Jameson Abug talk on Greaseweazel yesterday. There are some hints and tips here, notably don't use q-tips to clean the drive heads as it can cause misalignment (in one axis or another). Lots of other useful tips in that video as well.

Hi Simon, Usual advice would be to bring it along to an abug when they're up and running again. The problem with these is there can be quite a bit wrong and it can be quite involved to get to the bottom of what's died. When paying commercial rates, time ...

The Tuesday evening 'General' ABug sessions are quite different to the Saturday events which are highly structured with many organised speakers giving presentations. Tuesday meets tend to be very much ad-hoc where conversation can flow between ...

Welcome, enjoy your journey of discovery. There was an ABUG talk last week but the author of sim city and many other Beeb games, it should be on the ABUG site in a little while.

... DIN pins on a scope would be great. Hopefully Simon Inns will see this and take pity on me. I've been amazed with Simons knowledge in the last 2 ABUG events I've been at. Also I really hope that this post, DOES NOT appear in Big Eds Startdot column review at the next ABUG. Thank you StartDot, ...

I'm a bit late advertising this here, but last Saturday (to coincide with the Virtual ABug event on 3rd April) I finally made physical versions available for John Blythe's beautiful horror-themed graphical text adventure The Darkness of Raven Wood which can be supplied ...

Wonderful, thanks. A slide deck which includes the full source code to Elite. Maybe.

That was great! Will watch it again. Could Dominic perhaps share a PDF of his slide deck?

Thanks Ed!

Here are the slides

I'll drop him a line!

This begins in one hour! (8pm BST)

Gary was quite critical of Positron in his ABug interview, but I think it's not a bad little game, agree it's addictive. Here's my starter score: 19440.

Noticed Dominic had created this swish trailer, so sharing here ...

... for that has probably passed - unless perhaps for islands of Econet bridged across wide area links (internet)... There was some talk at one of the ABUG events along the lines of setting up WAN Econet for retro-enthusiasts with the assumption that this would be bridged to Ethernet and then over ...

So fluid, fast and smooth - what a great achievement having a dedicated demo for the Master Turbo.

Is there a possibility of all collaborators doing a talk at either a Saturday or Thursday ABug event do you think?

Yes he's emailed me back, I'm going to reply tomorrow, still on today's ABug event which has been running since 9am(!) Very cool... I was literally just about to message him last night, to ask about the Spectrum versions of hi titles, when I noticed your comment ...

Looking at Geoff's Facebook page, it seems like Arcadian has been in touch with him recently. Hopefully he can be coaxed into talking about his games.

The monthly all-day "Virtual" ABug meeting for May will take place on Sat 1st May, running between 9am - midnight (and in all likelihood, into the early hours). To reserve a place, please respond in this thread and advise which session(s) ...

... issues here, as I will have quite a lot of logical ORs that need to be implemented. I've also just had a discussion with some of the guys on the ABUG Zoom call, and the general view was that I needed to select a bigger device. I'm going to start looking at some of the FPGA solutions, and see ...

... I use with my M128, not sure whether it's the one that was repaired 3 times though because I had 2 at one point and gave one away. Today with the ABUG meeting this monitor came back does someone know what the Acorn modification where. The solder braiding was an interesting suggestion

I don't think I'd want to encourage Youtube to plonk any ads on our videos though, they're a major turn off for me!! Youtube recently-ish announced that they will (if they want) put ads on channels that aren't monetised, which sucks. So they may run them on your videos anyway! You could sign up wit...
