Hi,

Why not try BeebEm, then, if like me, you have trouble with old favourites
like Super Invaders running erratically, you can shell out for a GoMMC, with
upto 2GB of space and instantaneous loading and saving. Take a look at it at
<http://web.inter.nl.net/users/J.Kortink/home/hardware/gommc/what.htm>

I have an old Master in a Viglen case with a GoMMC and a Turbo, along with a
pair of DS80T drives, hooked up to an old Sony TV via RGB.

Dave ;)

Subject: [BBC-Micro] Real Machine or Emulator

Hello Group,

  Having noticed the formation of uk.comp.vintage my interest in older
  PC's has been revived. I am dithering between an emulator (I have
  Beebem and Model-b) and buying a BBC (Master preferably) from
  somewhere.

  If I had a real machine I would really, really like to use it for
  Usenet and perhaps email, it would be a fantastic kick to post from
  a Beeb :-) I'd probably try and write some programs as well, I can't
  remember what I used for 6502 assembler 20+ years ago though.

  It seems that getting hold of programs to run on emulators is quite
  easy. What about getting programs to run on a real machine? If I
  succeeded in connecting it to a PC to copy the disk images over can
  they be loaded directly to a real machine or copied on to a
  floppy/cassette to run?

  Being a hoarder I still have the cassette recorder and lead I bought
  to use with the Beeb, although sadly the machine itself was sold
  many years ago.

  Best regards.
