Comments:I'm a long time BBC Microcomputer 32K and Master 128 user ... and still play the old BBC stuff on my copy of pcBBC, which incidentally allows you to some degree to play M128 games and utilities.

I'm attempting to get the old ADFS welcome and utilities disk for the pcBBC emulator so I can finish a manual I am preparing, thus the disk, and its graphics can be screen-shot. If anyone knows where I can get it, please let me know!

of those guys back in the mid eighties in Britain who
worked on programs for the BBC TV Telesoftware system,

Adapter and Teletext software. I wrote a Teletext editor
back then. These days I go by the name of ORLOK and spend a
considerable amount of my time finding and making materials
related to the Acorn available (free) to users. Nice to see
a site dedicated to the Master 128. Must get my own site
written now ...

I run a web site dedicated to restoring old computers

<P>
I need your experience and comments, I'm getting loads of
diy repair hints.

I've got 5/6 Acorn A3000s people have left at the dump, and
I was walking home from work in December and I got a BBC
Master left for the dustman in the rain, which appears to
be partly working, it has some light case damage, and half
the keys dont work, as there is a crack in the keyboard
circuit board. The basic roms seem to be mysteriously
missing or never fitted. I just get the * prompt.

1/ does anyone have a dead Master in or around Portsmouth
area with sound keyboard and good case shell?

2/ or would anyone like mine for free?? (pick up only)
