Happy for those of you of a TRS-80 persuasion!

Évidemment les impressions typo de l'atelier Loki Gwynbleidd, c'est toujours quelque chose...

Comme mes châssis (les cadres pour composer les impressions) sont déjà utilisées, j'ai bricolé un montage en bois pour faire ma forme imprimée.

The things you have on your shelf...

This lovely old ZX81 was given to me several years ago. I never owned one originally, my dad instead saved his pennies and bought a BBC B.
I'm feeling the need to do something with it.
So if I can ask the ZX81 collective fan club hive mind, where's a good place to start with one of these?

Found a little light reading amongst my donated Tandy gear.

Found an old photo of my Model B, Sanyo Monitor and Epson RX-80FT printer.
Sometime in the mid 80s I think.

Can't remember exactly what I was doing on it here but I was hacking something into Wordwise by the look of it.

Sadly it was all sold off a few years later to make way for a boring beige PC box.

My youngest: "As if there's a game called magic Mushrooms!"

Five minutes later.

"This game is great!"

Had chance to hook up a Z80 2nd Processor to one of my masters.
Given to me as part of my recent haul. A nice pile of manuals and the original system disks. Not touched CP/M for decades.

There’s quite a sizeable pile of manuals too! Along with several boxes of disks and a couple of disk drives. Oh and a Z80 2nd Processor too!

...and there's more it seems.

A very nice looking Model B, a couple of disk drives, two 2nd processors- one I'm told is a Z80 and a big old pile of manuals.

The question now is what to tell my wife....

Answers on a postcard!

Like many of us of a certain age, I cut my programming teeth on BASIC. Firstly on a TRS-80 that my dad bought home one day. That micro was pretty quickly replaced with a BBC B. As I got older I dabbled a little with 6502 assembler, but was never very proficient with it. One day in our local computer shop I discovered 'Forth on the BBC Micro' and bought a copy. I still have it, along with a reasonable collection of Forth books!

Hello to everyone who thinks I'm worthy of a follow. I'll follow you all back as soon as I can.
I also promise to post more of my Acorn related nonsense too!

In the meantime please accept this gift of a BBC Master & Video Digitiser selfie. 😄
