The official Bluesky presence of the Retro Computer Museum in Leicester, UK. A museum dedicated to providing hands-on experience of computers and consoles from the 70s onwards.
Amazing piece of Windows 3.1 software.

With uh... quirks.

The perfect DOS game music system.

(Sadly RCM is lacking the moolah to invest 😞 )

Fun fact: You can do this with TZX files too.

The spec defines the byte sequence that starts a TZX file as a "continuation block", just so this can be done.

Absolutely. And if it had the two-player mode, it would either match the Amiga version, or slightly beat it.

Much Archie love at RCM 😀

I'm afraid pretty much all the RCM volunteers are shared in the view that the Amiga is the definitive and best edition ever.

Anyone with a Raspberry Pi and a teletext TV can get this up and running. It's quite a clever system.

Pretty sure all the RCM staff would just stand staring in coveting jealousy at this.

Dunno BUD, it looks like you're trying to ESCAPE. A BREAK seems a way off, but not long before a RETURN.

The module draws from the USB power. The jumper sets whether it uses the 5V direct, or regulates down to 3.3V.

So the VCC pin and all +ve levels are dictated by that jumper.

There are links inside the Einstein to change it from YUV to RGB output on the monitor socket.

I'm also led to believe some CUBs (possibly not all) have links internally to allow analogue input instead of TTL.
