It's not mine, but the other day someone dropped off an A4000D at Ed's that they didn't want any more. The case was a plain vanilla 4000/40 case, but inside.... There was one of the A4000 CR boards, Buster 11, 2 MB Chip RAM soldered, and an 030 built in. I having never seen one was excited. Ed didn't seem to be too surprised, though. I thought it was cool and wanted to share with everyone here.

Scored a genuine Acorn cassette recorder and a 16k ZX Spectrum today off a certain web site (*cough*) - both in brilliant condition and much cheapness....

Very happy.....

I got in an original MACINTOSH yesterday (M0001) that was heavily modded with 1 meg of ram and a 40 meg external drive (SCSI and Ethernet port added).With bag etc. It ran flawless for 8 hours, then .. problems. Ether the Power supply is going to give up the ghost or the internal fan (yes one was added) is going, It will probably cost me more to pick up a new P/S then it will be to replace it with a slightly better Mac Classic or plus or SE or something. it's too bad, I had thought I saved another one from the bin.

Those are also fitted in Micronik towers, I picked one up a few months ago:

Finally got what I wanted off evilbay, as opposed to getting bored and buying shiny addons.

Working Master 128 with double 5 1/4 drive. As courier charges for anything of this weight is £90 it's the same for anything under 20kg. Hence the annoyance of finding someone selling the drive and micro together .

I have a working econet network here, consisting of a working Level 3 fileserver (CF hard drive kit, Master ET with some missing interfaces re-installed, 6502 second processor), plus the usual cabling and clockbox.

But I still needed a second machine as the server is dedicated and we don't have a way of accessing the special partition the server stores all the network files on from a PC. Worse still I have a 80186 copro board which only fits in a Master and requires a floppy drive to install its software from .

So when this heavy box arrives I can finally get everything working , and see if there is anything readable left on my old floppy disks. Should have copies of some games I wrote in high school on them.

I know a few staff members who would like that Beeb setup!!

Ah... thats really reminiscent of the BBC Micros we had at secondary school before they finally upgraded the machines lol.

Received my second HxC Floppy Emulator but the package was crushed and there is water damage. The board survived but it is water damaged as well. Now I have to try to get it replaced.

SdG, Sorry to see that. Did it fall off the boat and have to be fished out of the ocean?

OMG WTF?! Good luck in getting a replacement. That really sucks.
