Haven't collected that much recently but what I
have obtained has filled very important holes
More significant following the repair of the 9512
Checking out the power supply for the pass through
on the Amiga 1000 in readyness for the 1060
Enter the Amiga 1060 sidecar
A PC emulator built by Commodore. In truth it
is a computer in its own right
This marked the beginning of a very long project
Commodore and the PC
In the end I managed to succeed. Not easy
Checking a couple of A3000s I have stacked in here
Boot options screen
Both working fine. Note the differing position
of the floppy drive between machines
Next up I checked through some A4000ds. It is not
possible to have all computers set up, but it is
very important to check them regularly
I have quite a few A4000ds and do use them on a
regular basis for my daily Amiga activities
The BBC was also a major project in the spring
Work had to stop whilst I waited for a battery
This computer has the double floppy drive
The rear of the BBC Master floppy drive unit
An Acorn 3000 that I lost and then found. I knew
I had two of these. In the end found her sitting
under the BBC. Thing is I now know the trick of
how to get them working when they lose the CMOS
I was concerned about the loss of mouse control
The port is below the computer
The machine had a leaking blown battery
So I did a thorough clean up
Sadly the 2.5" is like stuck forever
Dusted the rest of the motherboard off
And like magic the Acorn 3000 worked fine
The replacement battery arrived for the BBC Master
It really is wonderful that folk still make the kit
The inside of the BBC Master
The original battery pack removed
Rubber band man. Feels its all I did in the
spring was replace rubber drive belts to Amstrads
This time it was the turn of the 8256
The drive was easier to remove on this model
The 3" drive generally came in three variations
And yes the belt had broken
And like magic is repaired
And another computer is alive and ready for action
The inside to the Acorn A3020 and another battery removal
Just time to play some Space Invaders on the Sharp MZ80K
The old trick with the post card got the Apple working
Time to muck around with the Spectrum. Spent some
serious time checking over machines and getting the
tapes functioning as they should
