That is so awesome! The digital tuner is extremely useful. I think the only thing I wish I could do with it is bung in the tuning hex code instead of seeking or loading from disk. But that is a minor niggle and it works really well :) Also,

I like what they have done with the NEXT, but unfortunately I have no nostalgia for ZX Spectrums, I grew up in a BBC Micro household. I do have a +2 in my collection here, but I rarely use it.

From what I have been told, one of the other services supported by the software I used has Bamboozle still, but I haven't tried the others myself yet.

Fastext is basically the four coloured buttons that are basically shortcuts to pages. It isn't related to page caching.

You can use f-keys for the coloured buttons on the BBC Micro too :)

The Sony used in this blog page caches everything. The Morley connected to the BBC does not cache.

I got to say, having using Teletext again when writing that blog post, I do actually prefer consuming my news that way. That surprised me.

I should have maybe clarified that it was killed off here in the UK, I will amend it.

It does, the first part of my post shows this on the TV. But for the BBC Micro I'd need to physically hack the Morley quite a bit to take composite input. I also have an Acorn Teletext Adapter, this can easily take composite instead of

The modern version (W65C02S) is not 100% pin compatible. It would be very obvious very quickly if that had been done. There isn't another modern equivalent with the same pinout that I'm aware of. Yes, there are many original 6502s

Oh, absolutely, but it is usually way more expensive than buying a load of chips in the chance you'll get a genuine one. I work on a project called PiStorm that replaces the 68000 series of CPUs using a small FPGA for bus translation a

Lol! I had to send it back to China to get my money back

Well now I'm just hungry! :)

I once ordered a large batch of 64pin DIP sockets from a Chinese site and received a piece of ladies' undergarment instead. It took a long time to get my money back from that transaction.

Both are online, yes (I'm UK based and they ship here).

Just in case the seller becomes litigious. I may be correct, but I don't want to spend time proving that in a legal framework. You can easily figure it out as the date code on the chips is unique to them and they still sell them on eBa

Yep, I was way too trusting this time.

I do know the supplier I bought them from bought them in the hundreds. I also know I'm the first customer who has noticed they are counterfeit. So, there is still enough money there I guess.

New / old stock? I have a supplier called TV SAT in Poland who is pretty reliable. I've had pretty good success with UTSource. But it really depends on what you are looking for. Usually it is a case of looking at reviews and cross

I never thought about inspecting the pins before, a very good point.

They were very unhappy with the negative I left. To be fair, I have had other things from them in the past that do appear to be the real deal.

Many thanks, I'll update the post later tonight with the findings from the comments here.

I've been wanting to squeeze that ARM fact in one of my Archimedes blog posts, but somehow never got around to it. It is pretty cool how it was developed.

by LinuxJedi 3y ago
Doh! That's what I get for writing with a stack of hard drives next to me. Thanks, I'll update the post.

by LinuxJedi 3y ago
Yea, I tried a couple of AIs on it whilst writing that post and didn't get anywhere. It does look like elsewhere in the comments here people have maybe figured it out though.

by LinuxJedi 3y ago
It was not littlediode this time, I'm not going to name them (you'll be able to tell with a search as the chip has the same date code on their auction). There are several out there that buy from China and resell. The good ones at

Ah! Thanks. I tried several different visual search methods whilst writing those post but was coming up blank.

Unfortunately I only received this machine as is. Not even a power brick. So it is likely that the original case was indeed thrown out.

I am puzzled by that too, it is roughly where the VIC II is and it doesn't appear that anything was soldered to it to tap it. My other guess was that this sat on top of something and the hole was needed so it would sit properly?
