I found the HD cover on another forum, so just looking for the Mega STE case upper now...

Withdrawing interest unfortunately- I can't get a UK delivery address sorted out at the moment.

Declaring interest in the BBC Master, PM sent

I have a Mega STE with some nasty cosmetic damage to the upper half of the case. Maybe someone out there has rack mounted your MSTE, or has one that has died, and is willing to part with the case? If so let me know, thanks!

Which version of K02? I mean, is it the original or does it have the World Cup 90 add on?

Interested in both, PM sent. Edit: Withdrawing interest.

Withdrawing interest, seems shipping here is too expensive to make a broken machine worthwhile.

Interested if none of the above are still interested.

Interested, sending PM.

I'm in Canada and have a Mega STE that I am considering selling. The only thing wrong with it is the case cracked and was repaired.

BBC Micro key switches Mark at Retroclinic has them- I bought my BBC B from him and after a while the spacebar started playing up so he dropped some in the post to me. My keyswitches are the same as yours. To keep the machine going I shaved about 1mm of the corners off an old keyswitch...

Yeah I would use external power, that's an easy change though. the Nano can accept external power, just only has a pin for it not a connector on the board.

Tapuino, the $20 C64 Tape Emulator Looks great! Have you measured how much current you are drawing from the C64? If it's a lot, might want to consider lowering the LCD backlight brightness, or external power, safer for both devices.

Given that you have 2 pieces of code, one that is able to init the LCD properly, and one that isn't, could you comment out stuff in the init() until you have isolated the minimum amount of code that still shows that problem? (Might find the line(s) of apparently unrelated code that cause the...

I connect an Arduino to the C64 user port data pins and USB at the same time. I think a common ground and diodes on the user port pins should be enough safety- leave the C64 Vcc disconnected from the Arduino.
