Truly a versatile machine

Not really looked, might turn up one day.

We used to print using a dot matrix but the results were abysmal for anything but very simple circuits

Poo, can't make these dates Oh well, enjoy whoever goes.

Can't make this one

Using a CF it can appear as many separate DFS disks (on some CF systems, and you use a * command to select different disks) or one massive ADFS hard drive on systems such as RetroClinics Datacentre (which includes other stuff as well as a CF system). The 256/512 byte sector basically halves the capa...

As you've got a Master then it has the newer disk interface and should work with that drive. Again cable should be fine, just follow the advice in the first post in the thread.

Great stuff :) I do remember the first version as a kid and that my Dad tried to modify the program (presumably to add more words to the dictionary) and then tried to SAVE it over the top of the original program. Schoolboy error! It never loaded again. Was that a cassette version ? I'm guessing you ...
