I got my original 512 in December '83.

The old bank statement I found shows the cheque cleared on 20/12/83!

Dave has all the sources I did at: http://primrosebank.net/computers/mtx/t ... ass_ex.htm

Plug in a TV, a composite monitor and VGA and you'll have THREE screens.

I got the microcontrolleron the drive to flash , it doesn't mean it's been connected to anything retro yet!

I wonder if there is a comms speed issue going on here? Is the baud rating adjustable in any way to read/write to/from the Gotek? There are speed settings if connectigs via UART, but the USB connetion has no settings at all, I guess it's supposed to identify via plug in and pray. The various ID fie...

Some more pictures: The RS96 board: 1667732180017.jpg 1667732180008.jpg I'm not sure why anyone would need an MTX with 96k ram, but that's what this one appears to have. It's an MTX500 mainboard, with 2 rows of 32k on the memory card. And it doesn't boot. It's the board that Mark referred too in his...

It'a an "F415" chip, so is one of the newer ones. We downloaded the chip programmer from the manufacturer's site as on the flashfloppy instructions (2 versions 1.54 and 2.06) With the jumper fitted windows finds it, neither version of the software does. Will see what that facebook group tu...

Today was frustrating!

The USB A to A leads arived from Amazon so we had a chance to try re-programming the Gotek.

And

Nothing, Windows identified the Gotek was fitted in programming mode, but the programming sotfware couldn't find the device
As a result we wasted a lot of time getting nowhere.

And there was cake.

With Megastar games themed decoration. PS yes the bread at lunchtime was freshly baked too.
