  1. I upgraded my #BBCMicro from BASIC 1 to BASIC 2 by replacing a ROM. Cost me £9 off fleaBay. Came with horribly bent pins but I managed to straighten them out. It enabled me to use the system command OSCLI which allowed me to create a friendly front-end to the speech chip I installed last week.

  16. My favourite game: Elite (picture 1)

    My latest purchase: Twin joysticks (picture 2)

    My plan: Squish ’em together to see what happens (picture 3)

    This should be a fun project!

    Note: Picture 3 is a genuine in-game work-in-progress screenshot, but it’s VERY early days…

  21. How cool is this? It's the #BBCMicro Elite Demonstration Disc, converted to run on the #Atari 8-bit machines.

    Great work from Atari guru Wrathchild, who inspired me to look at the demo code in the first place!
