2nd Processor Elite on B+, Gotek, Raspberry PI 2nd Processor and Sony Trinitron TV. As promised earlier in this thread. Turning on my B+ 64k (upgraded to 128k) IMG_3262.jpg 2nd Processor enabled IMG_3267.jpg IMG_3268.jpg Elite disk image selected IMG_3263.jpg Selecting the version of Elite IMG_3264....

I bought this and it works just fine. https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpr ... 1944726849

I picked up a Scart cable on eBay and it had the wrong resistor for sync 220 instead of 270. Lovely scrolling effect. Didn’t bother to return as I had another working cable. When I next pass an Electrical component store I’ll pickup a replacement resistor. For the correct wiring check out this page....

Key issues are not so uncommon. They can usually be fixed by pressing the key repeatedly, or by unsoldering the key, removing the legs of the key and cleaning the legs. I’ve done this several times. For the interference on the screen, I’d check the rf output to see if that has interference as well. ...

I have ADFS Electron version 1 working just fine with the Pegasus 400, but I have ADFS in my AP5 socket 12. Just reading, this page https://www.retro-kit.co.uk/page.cfm/content/Slogger-Pegasus-400/ and the manual does state that you can fit a suitable ADFS ROM in the spare socket. The Slogger Pegasu...

I have a similar setup and the enhanced Elite works just fine. When I get some time I’ll post some pictures of the setup and running the enhanced Elite.

Got it working this morning :D Using sockets 4 and 5. Unfortunately socket 4 is RAM and socket 5 is EEPROM. I had been using sockets 5 & 6 which EEPROM (Single chip), which is doesn't like. Now I can get back to learning all the commands of the ABE and reducing the size of the Basic program I'm ...

Still not working.

Procedure: *BE, Load program, type UTILS or Escape and it hangs

Tried with AP5 with BeebSCSI and with Pegasus with Gotek. I also tried swapping Elks. At the weekend I’ll try a Basic Electron with just GoSDC to see if there is an issue with the Plus 1 and AP6 combination.

To run the ABEs Utilities - Start BE with *BE - Load your BASIC program and then type UTILS Dave H :D I’ve tried that but no success. I’ll try again this evening to see if I missed something. BTW, once ABE is enabled I’m not able to change directory. I can load a program if I enter the full path.

Had another go at using the ABE on a real Electron. Configuration: Issue 6 with MRB in normal mode, Plus 1, AP6, AP5 and BeebSCSI. Loaded ROMs in EEPROM slots 5 & 6 IMG_3233v.jpg ABE enabled IMG_3234v.jpg Luanch UTILS and it hangs :( IMG_3235v.jpg Try new configuration e.g. remove AP5 and BeebSC...

If anyone is interested the ABE works just fine in Elkulator loading the ROMS into the two cartridge slots.

BeebEM, I'm struggling to get it to work with SCSI harddisk enabled.

I've just added the User Guide to the end of the above linked thread. Thanks, Dave. Here's the bit from the manual that describes what the Pack routine does: 3.4.1 P – Pack Program The object of Pack is to try to reduce the amount of memory occupied by the program... I'll have a go at using the pac...

Static variable definitions also can be farmed out into a *EXEC file as immediate-mode statements; just be sure to start the program using GOTO as opposed to RUN which will wipe them out again. Neat idea. 10 CLS 20 PRINT'"Program begins"' 30 *EXEC INIT 40 END 50 PRINT'"Program contin...

There's someone selling 3D printed cases on ebay https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/GOTEK-extern ... SwJxRcxYya

Unfortunately not. The B+ already has most of the features that the IntegraB offers; that being the 20k of shadow RAM, 12k of private RAM and the 4 x 16k SWRAM banks (assuming you have the 128k model). I remember asking the same question a while ago. It led me into thinking what would be a nice and...

Does anyone have some tips about reducing the size of a Basic program to share? I have a program on my Electron which I need to almost half in size to fit in mode 1 on an unmodified Electron. Currently running it with a MRB. I generally know I should reduce the number of lines of code by combining t...

reading this topic for the first time. My thought would be, why replace the plus 1 with a new implementation? Why not build something that combines functionality of the Plus 1 and 3, AP6, AP5 and Gotek, for those that don’t have any extensions to their Electron, and have some type of all-in-one solu...

But PEG + Plus 1 + AP6 + FlashFloppy Gotek = best solution

d.

Just what I have. (And a BeebSCSI just for massive storage )

I think the sideways RAM version of Elite for the Model B loads once then doesn't access the disc again. Could be wrong. Not quite what you are asking but quicker than the original disc version. I've been searching the interwebs for a B+ 64kb Sideways Ram/Rom Module but have only found some for the...

Maybe this guide can help you https://stardot.org.uk/forums/viewtopi ... ike#p56019

I must go back to investigating the Electron PSU. As capable as it is, it’s working way beyond its design specifications. So a replacement, I think, would be appreciated by users who like expanding

It does nicely warm my right hand on cold winter days.

Similar type of setup. Electron issue 6 with Prime MRB Plus 1 with AP6 fitted AP5, ROM 13 ADFS + EEPROM BeebSCSI hanging to the left of the AP5 Raspbery PI Zero Second Processor Pegasus 400 (hidden behind the AP5) with Gotek IMG_3218.jpg I also have an Electron issue 4 which I which I use with GoSDC...

It's an ATPL Sidewise + ROM board. The manual and a photo can be found at 8bs.com.

Thanks

Hi, I reversed engineered the internal mode 7 mk2 board some years ago to see if I could repair my board. The drawings I made along with photocopies of the pcb layouts can be found here: http://www.bygonebytes.co.uk/electron.html They've not been double checked so may not be 100% accurate but hopef...

I guess you are after these ROMs https://github.com/tom-seddon/basic_edi ... eases/1.44. Instructions https://github.com/tom-seddon/basic_edi ... ocs/doc.md

Fixed it. I found that a wire from the sideways RAM connecting to a chip on the motherboard had parted company. My poor soldering at fault :oops:. All's working fine now and I've update the software on the Raspbery Pi Zero to the latest version. Now for a night of Elite enhanced (e.g. with 2nd proce...

I’m not see the boot message for Tube on my B+. I see that the Raspberry PI is powered and I’m using DFS 2.26 which should have the Tube code. Should I change a setting in a config file on the SD card? In general, you should not need to change any settings in the config file to get a working system...

Pretend Beebscsi using a pi

First time I see this. Do you have a link where I can read about it? I couldn’t see a specific link in the hardware list.

Raspberry Pi to 1MHz bus interface
I think.

Yep, that’s it. Thanks
