    A useful reference as you say! It seems that most enthusiasts from North America are unaware of Acorn computers. Which is ironic considering that everyone of them has one. ARM processors that power almost all smartphones and many other devices, smart speakers, car entertainment systems etc. are the direct descendants of the first ARM device, a co-processor for the Acorn/BBC microcomputer made by Acorn RISC Machines Ltd (ARM). Later to feature in the Acorn Archimedes series. (And rebranded Advanced RISC Machines when Apple invested/took over.) The Raspberry Pi naming convention of Model A and Model B references the BBC Micro Model A/B. The BBC Micro:bit is another "reboot" of the tradition of public computer literacy programmes in the UK. I do love my C64 which I bought in 1983 and still have. But Acorn is the the Master (perhaps a UK only in-joke!)

    Did you manage to fix the keyboard issue? If it's the same as the 800xl, the keys have a conductive silicone that bridges 2 points on the pcb per key. Could simply be dirt. Assuming the pcb is clean and not damaged, it could be the cable that connects the pcb to the main board. They are very delicate. Years ago i salvaged a completely wrecked 800xl, etched a new pcb for the keyboard that converted it into a PC keyboard. If it's your pcb, you could probably get a new one printed by PCB Way. I think they are quite simple layout. Wish it was as easy years ago because etching a PCB in acid is messy 😂

  • @JustWasted3HoursHere
    @JustWasted3HoursHere 8 місяців тому

    Oh man, me and my friend used to spend HOURS typing in those old programs only to discover that it didn't work! This was usually because one of us typed something wrong, but about 10% of the time it was Compute's fault and they would print a correct the following month. Some pretty great programs and games here and there over the years. Two that stand out were "Doodle", which was a fairly comprehensive art program with some impressive features for the day, though it only supported monochrome graphics (no multicolor mode); and "Turbo Tape" which was a utility to save your programs in a special format on tape so that it would load about 5 times faster than normal (close to disc drive speed in fact). It could load fast on any C64, even one that did not have Turbo Tape running on it, which I thought was very clever.
