A standard BBC B would not normally have any of the keyboard links
set.  They govern the DFS/NFS priority, shift-BREAK action, default
screen mode and disc drive timings.  Here is a quick guide to what
you can do:

Subject: [BBC-Micro] DFS errors

Afternoon all,
 
I picked up three BBC B computers and a dual 40/80 Cumana drive from a chap
on Freecycle the other day - two of the Beebs are dead (one PSU went 'bang'
when I tested it, so I thought it wise to leave that alone), but I've
managed to get one of them working fine.
 
However, the dual drive is giving a lot of 'error 08' messages.  I believe
that this is an issue with the clock timing (or something like that!), and
I've inspected the 'links' on the keyboard (right of the spacebar) and all
of the links are missing.
 
Can anyone perhaps shed any light as to which links need to be made?  I've
taken the lid off the drive (incredibly clean inside), and the two identical
drives are Mitsubishi units - model number M4853-342MG
 
Many thanks in advance,
 
Matt
