Hello from New Zealand.

Post by mgw_sd »

Hello Stardot people,

I have been lurking here for a couple of years and have really enjoyed the discussions. What a community! Outstanding.

Having started in early '82 with a ZX-81, which became a C64, what was really desired was a BBC Micro. Long story but eventually got to use a BBC model B, a B+, Master, various Arcs, and a Risc PC largely due to my father's involvement in schools with computers.

Present day, mid-life crisis has resulted in cobbling together one-and-a-half Risc PCs which is a bit safer than a motorcycle or a sports car as long as I avoid messing with the PSU internals.

Stand by for another Risc PC problem thread, folks!

Hello Martin,

I'm from New Zealand also and have a big collection of BBC and Acorn gear. Let me know what you need for your half RiscPC. I might have some spare parts to help you.

Cheers.

Michael.

Hi Michael,

I am the same Martin that you kindly helped with this Risc PC a couple of years ago!

Am just about to post a thread asking for ideas with the issues it is having.

Regards,
Martin.
