DFS1.2 won't work with a 8271FDC, so still require DFS2.26 (also 128/16k) if leaving the 1770FDC present I think you've got that the wrong way around: DFS 1.20 does work with the 8271 FDC. think you've not read this thread properly [-X ee668 said he is keeping 1770 & burning 1.20 :roll: EDIT: a...

Swram is in 4,5,6,7 & your correct ROMS go into the cartridge slots 0,1,2,3 you could burn the ROMs & buy a cart to put them on, so Mouse could also exist if have two carts. if you can only get 6&7 swram, there is a jumper to make 4&5 too, it turns something else off, think the rom s...

I put the original 1.20 here many moons ago :

you have read this :

PS would bin that cable you have, has a pin hole filled in , or drill / cut it out, as they are all gnd that side anyways, so all joined

just doing what the politicians do, driving 260 miles to the nearest baby sitter

serious note, kids sending mother's crazy, neighbours have all lost their jobs, am a 'key worker' , so just washing hands more, & overtime has now been banned , so only working 2/3 of a normal day

yes that IS my picture, taken from my original untouched PSU box, but with my PC drive connector shoved on so could copy stuff to drive 1/3

always use one hole blue discs, rest are point less

some pics I had , that may or may not help....

yeah, very weird not writing discs, I had (now got MMC) two drives on mine working perfect with DFS as ADFS is pants.

Superior software - speech v1.03

9 bids now £17, do folk know it's from tape /disc : just burnt to a 8k rom

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BBC-Microcom ... Sw-2xeyVkq

now to do same as got 50+ 8k ROMs under the bed

looking at the diagram I linked to before, that's pin8 which is 0/gnd, so long nose pliers, pull it out to same length as rest, then should work !!

found & PMd :

the 32k rom can, as that's how I fixed my cousin's one BITD

not had a faulty 6502, but someone recently posted a thread, & found it was that, so can do too

weird, usually always the 4x 8k ram
Was in mine , after checking 6502 & 32k rom

ehhh, where did my post go about : bad sum err3 is dumb ADFS looking for a boot disc, it's not IBMBIOS / IBMDOS.com :lol: + don't throw it out, as I don't have a spare Mcompact 8) I could try your overpriced 33p board if you wish, mine is at hand at moment as bedroom is half decorated, no carpet sho...

just do this for 33p , worked on mine

read a bit more other week, & bought a arcade board for £3.26 in P&P , so need to wait a month for its delivery :? used the Composite out old 8088 big card machine yesterday, & this old 1982 10mb hard drive still works :shock: IMG_20200522_201951109.jpg Video of 'noise' from this 10mb mo...

I tell a lie, other board has :

8272 what looks like a covered window as one might expect on an EPROM? Is the 8272 actually a micocontroller it's probably just an earlier version of same FDC chip, but made prior to 1986, as the ones on two of my bare board 286 51/4" controllers has no 'window' & has Intel P8272A on them.

good work Dave / everybody!!

just one thing, the Dragons Lair is now Free ((Thanks to Jim Bagley for downloads now ok, no SDs for sale) mine signed )
so the folder "DLAIR" can have the full game (but 82 files 167MB )

audacity is rubbish on a PC, but seems OK on a Mac :? 48k is total overkill , it's not a blu ray movie disc! Need to be 44k, then use CSW viewer to turn a mono .WAV into a .CSW, then use that for emulators, or into .uefHQ if the csw does not work, 80% of time csw does not work... MP3s are useless un...

/\ yip, had threads about rubbish cool novelties before

Retro Computer Shack ones sorted it.

I have one, but it does not jump to correct scart channel when beeb turned on, only down side with it. A home made one does

thanks Roland! good idea with light bulb :idea: don't think they have old valves, sure the 386 monitor I took to bits to turn up brightness pot never had them, but that was 1992 & can't remember #-o might put them in middle of back garden with long lead, RCD safety plug & turn on 7m away &am...

have a few but a bit scared to turn them on

my beeb monitor from 1985 got binned 1992 as it would hardly turn on

I ask as I have a few 8088 (286) PCs , one has composite out on the massive card too (with 5 1/4" disc 8272 FDC), so better to just use that....
