Hello from Tyneside

Post by dr_d_gee »

Never actually had a physical BBC Micro or Electron — it was an Amstrad CPC464 for me. But I do have some RPis, one of which runs RISC OS, and I have a modern RISC OS machine—a Pinebook Pro. Plus BBC Micro emulators — BeebEm on Windows and Beebit on RISC OS.

I don't know how many people on here are familiar with the modern RISC OS scene, but Chris Dewhurst (https://dragdrop.co.uk) offers 80 BBC Micro books on a flash drive or CD ROM for less than £20 including postage. It includes the books in both PDF and word processor format (Impression/EasiWriter) plus the programs from the books where relevant as .SSDs. It was only 55 books when I purchased my copy about ten years ago!

Welcome, the 464 shares the 6845 and modes 0, 1 and 2 with the beeb, although it has them in the wrong order ;) nice palette though .
