Richard,
Many thanks for the disc images. I will transfer them
tonight. I made up the serial cable and have been
using xfer to get them across to the Beeb. Got hold of
a GoMMC from John, and slowly building up the software
on it. Many thanks again.
William,
Hardware wise, I have most of what I was looking for,
a Model B with 1770 DFS, WE ROM/RAM board and 6502 2nd
Processor. Plus a couple of disc drives.
If there any interesting utlity ROMs, then let me
know. Otherwise the only thing I may be interested in
would be a double Cumana disc drive, 40/80T (the one
with the grey plastic front (rather than black))
Anyway, thanks again, and Happy New Year to everyone.
Barry

Hi Barry,
Welcome back to the BBC Micro world :)
The attached Zip file has the two disc images. They are 80-track single
sided standard DFS, and you'll need some way to get them onto 5.25"
floppies.
Once you get there, might I recommend the programs "TUBELLS" and
"TLORDS" from disc 2. Proof that 8-bit hardware can make some damn fine
sounds :)
