Subject: My set up
Well, just for a kick-off, here's what Beeb bits and pieces I've got:
- BBC Model B (Issue 7), mono monitor
- Watford "Solderless" Sideways ROM/RAM board with 16Kb sideways RAM
- Watford Shadow RAM board (32Kb)
- 80 track disc drive (allegedly double sided, but side 2 won't work..)
- 2400 baud modem
- AMX Mouse
- Watford Video Digitiser
Roms: (in order of me remembering them)
- Acorn DFS 1.20
- Basic 2
- ISO Pascal
- Beebug C
- View 2.1
- Viewsheet
- Shadow RAM OS
- AMX Pagemaker / Pagemaker Support ROMs
- MegaROM
(Probably one or two others I've forgotten.. hmm.. two at the most!)
And here's my question: I want a new disc drive. Do I have to hunt high
and low for a 720Kb drive (5.25"), or can I just plug in an IBM 1.2Mb
drive, which is easy to find and cheap..?
