It even still works too! Oddly the AM reception on it is amongst the best reception on any radio I have in the house!
For a bit of fun, I did run a music video I made for a mate's charity christmas single through it, for that proper vintage look!

Crickey, that's niche.....

I love my Masters, I have a couple but I mostly have my Compact set up. Always really loved that mad little old thing.

My dad bought a TRS-80 Model 1 Level 2 and used it to control theatre stage lighting with an electronic interface he built, so that was the first computer I used. My favourite was the computer that replaced the Tandy, a BBC B.

Ah. I have that very book!

If you can get hold of one, a Gravis Ultrasound will lift the sound and music in Doom to another level!

Beautiful to look at! Impossible to play! 🤣

Kids today with their inkjets and laser printers just don’t understand the horror 😂

I'm feeling quite left out tbh.

Fortunately I've nothing code-wise that's in any way important! But I'm often surprised that floppy discs have survived as well as they have! I mean we were pretty flippant with them back in the day.

Thanks Kevin, that actually sounds quite therapeutic! Useful to know. Maybe I should take a peek at some of my floppies and see what state they're in. Though I did get rid of my Wabash discs many moons ago!

What do you clean them with? Iso alcohol or does that fetch the magnetic coating off?

Signed!

...its not plugged in....

@markmoxon.bsky.social is the resident Elite expert around these parts. He's done some deep deep dives into how Elite was put together, and his flicker free versions on the BBC are especially worth a look!
