"ship has sailed"... Did you mean skip??! :lol: wait 40 year, then our kids will just throw it all out the cupboard / loft :shock: I went to a few car boot sales, also found nothing apart from a few Sony PS1 games :cry: Wii's are handy things to have, put homebrew app on them, then get all...

if they load, take a few screen shots to confirm if same but different name.

also if you can't make a copy to disc image, or a tape image, feel free to PM me so can make an image & post back next day!

just depends on the tape player. Try playing a normal music tape & alignment the head with a small screwdriver to get highest tone output, this fixed one of my players to play much more. I also have Twin Kingdom Valley elk version, tried to UEF it a while ago, but last 10 blocks have gone silent...

Totally Fried needs 5v 2amp.

you can use a old hi-fi 5 pin din to 5 pin din, it won't have remote, but least you can see if your new tape recorder works.

this is how mine are wired :

pure brilliant

it sounds like from the description, that the RF lid was taken off, cut both wires to it, then feed a longer wire from the two pins on MB to the now cut off RF phono (center red / outer black(-)) But you are correct, would get hanged [-X so old socks around both sides of speaker to muffle loud music...

And the important bit. so, am right as usual :mrgreen: , an Issue4 :) it's great to open up a never opened before elk and see those little green stickers!! 8) no speaker pot to turn, & not so good picture as the RGB is half of the beeb brightness, so turn up tv brighness with remote....

wow, never has a dead 6502 in any of my elks

I have had one dead 32k rom (basic2 /OS1), and plenty bad RAM in Issues 4+6

have you tried the tin foil trick ??

would save all the hastle if something else is dead...

you need the Hopper cart, then play that

^ yeah great for keys for an elk

think going by my elk serial numbers, yours is going to be a Issue4, not made in Malaysia.

hopefully it does not hang when needing its ULA kicked

:shock: [-( what have you been doing since christmas 1983????? :-k your life starts now! 8) can you tell from eBay listing if its a Issue2 or 6, as 4s are ULA rubbish (always needs a big kick). 6s ram just dies, worse than your Atom 2114s :( defo NEED a Plus1, Plus3 is pointless, as Slogger pegasus4...

^naaa, that comes on all the time at start up.

so, as he said, half the ULA pins are missing, hence dead

yes, as it's basically Acorn 8271FDC DFS0.90

so same , buy MMFS has less bugs as it's basically dfs2.26

/\ naa, this is a Nintendo Wii plug, only 4 wires :

try checking the output of the +5v when it's on

there is pots you can turn to get to 5v on side of PSU

could be that

^ mine is the newest, as have the appendix sheet at back of book

SFS is a Silicon Filing System , so 128k RAM drive if you have full 144k like I still have.

Will upload my origin disc later, sure it's somewhere on here already...

already answered that on BoringBook

Same as one of mine, only need to change start up cap 220uF

there is a video on YouTube , basically the keys all loose their carbon contacts, so have to paint all of them with gold stuff , then keyboard responded.

- ME = "it just copies no problem, even with *COPY 0 1 *.* , did not need *BACKUP 0 1 , or anything else...." That's interesting. Maybe they de-protected later versions due to problems? The FSD definitely has a really messed up track 2 with 18 sectors and there's a sector overread. My not...

now your good at typing, all you need now
is shorthand, then you'll make a good secretary

WordWise - Computer Concepts - Typing & Example 1982 recorded twice on each side

boring, I know

Countdown To Doom - Acornsoft 1982 version 3.2 enjoy

a normal mobile phone charger will do that, as they are also 5v 1amp .

just join the wires up, noting /checking +/-

looks like it Wim, as both progs are made by MicroPro.
so least it's useful on your Atom if similar

^Thanks Wim

& another:

Repton Thru Time - Superior 1988 BBC version don't ask why sideB never converted into a basic UEF !!

enjoy
