Entry 26th May 2017: Post: 1


Hot today


Hi

A pretty obvious statement but the house warms up on the first floor so 
I retire to the retro lounge and have some fun. Today I have mostly been 
playing with the Acorn Electron and the Acorn Plus 1

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acorn_Electron

This basically is an expansion unit you connect to the back of the 
Electron to give it more oomph!!

' The Acorn Plus 1 added two ROM cartridge slots, an analogue interface 
(supporting two channels) and a Centronics parallel port. The analogue 
interface was normally used for joysticks, the parallel for a printer. 
The ROM slots could be booted from via the "Shift+BREAK" 
key-combination. (The slot at the front of the interface took priority 
if both were populated).'

Worked all as described. Pretty boring really.

Next up I have been trying to find a power supply for my Sam Coupe.... 
This guy has a power supply. Sadly I don't. Hmmm !!

Finally, lost a big box of Amiga Computing magazines. The original 
numbers. I know I have them somewhere. I collected them from a guy in 
Southampton who lived opposite the Ordnance Survey offices. Remember the 
night very well. I do like the older versions of Amiga Computing , 
especially with the big Amiga 'tick' on the cover. I'll keep looking. 
Amazing what I misplace.

I have all these somewhere.....
