If anyone wants a 13A fuse to blow themselves up with, I have zillions of the dammed things (from the days that UK 13A plugs only came with a 13A use, even though a large number of appliances were suppose to have a 3A or 5A fuse fitted in the plug...)

I have just noticed that one thing that is hard to read, is the "Author's" name, which is grey. This does need changing. I can't work out why I never noticed this before :? I'm also not overly keen on the grey background to the edit boxes like the one I am currently writing this in. I thin...

Should we have an "introduce yourself" section where new members can tell us a little bit about themselves (and their own set-up) and existing members can say "hello and welcome" to them?

Yes / no, please do feel free to let rip with your comments...

CP/M does not support graphics - true. But CP/M is just a operating system. As long as your code does not trample over the area used by CP/M (assuming your program wants to continue to use CP/M functions) then you can do what you want, including your own graphics code. Think of CP/M as like DOS on t...

I'd be happy with composite, if it could give a better picture. Maybe some new capacitors in the video circuit? The Acorn Atom is the same, once the caps start to fail, the video signal goes wonky. New caps in, and the picture is crisp. Yes, that's because as electrolytic capacitors age, their high...

Maybe we should consider another board style (at the moment there is only one style available) that members can select, then each member can choose.

The other very short (at the moment) thread . Myself, I am using both a Linux OS that uses a Sharp AQUOS LCD TV for it's display and a smartphone when I am out and about. I don't have a problem with the colour scheme myself. But when using the PC, I do use the Zoom that Firefox has, as I am a little...

As Dave says, the external PSU is just a transformer - there are no capacitors in it. As with all transformers, you must allow plenty of airflow around it. Also put it on a hard surface. With a working MTX with no expansions, the external PSU should be okay. But keep in mind that I suspect it is wor...

I read that the VDP supports RGB. I have my 512 hooked up with composite video, pretty mediocre picture quality, and I would like to try RGB. I also have some colour problems where a red line drawn with a RST10 call looked yellow. Might be the TV. Also, a line drawn against the left hand border is ...

For those members that want to replace missing, damaged or corroded MTX case screws, here are the details of suitable replacements :D The original type are M3 thread size, black, 8mm long socket button head machine screws. Replacement 8mm screws are a bit hard to get. But on most machines, 10mm long...
