Before anyone askes, read this: Lee Fogarty put this up on the Spectrum 4 Ever group on Facebook.... I don't think anyone has noticed, but WoS is down. I've spent this week creating a new forum which, although a skeleton is almost complete with backed up data from the old forum. This has mostly been...

Re: SD Card Choice ?

There are many variations of flash (or EEPROM / E2PROM ) memory. The different types have different speed and rewrite characteristics.

Re: MTX to Centronics Printer Cable

Welcome David :D IIRC printer cables intended for the Acorn BBC Micro are suitable if you wish to directly connect to a printer with a Centronics port. These cables sometimes come up on eBay. They are made up of a 34 way 0.1" IDC header socket, 34 way ribbon cable and a 36 way IDC type Centroni...

Re: VGA or not VGA .. that is the question !

Ahh! But I think it is because they either have suplus 4:3 VGA LCD VDU's or want to use the same VGA LCD VDU with their retro computer(s) and a modern PC to save space... I use a Sharp Aquos TV and that works with all the 8 bit and 16 bit retro computers that I have tried (once I worked out the corr...
