Of course after finding that #BBCMaster video again, YouTube thinks that I should see someone who was not even yet born in the 20th century going on about the woes of typing in PETSCII copied from computer magazine listings. (-:

It's not in fact an experience that I can relate to. I loaded/saved PET programs from/to tape, and never had a C64.

Come to think of it; you don't see many of the #retrocomputing crowd using #cassettes, do you?

Retrocomputers! You haven't had the complete experience until you've accidentally unplugged the headphone jack and listened to the code. No, it doesn't sound like modem handshaking.

Although Jonathan Graham Harston has BBC BASIC for the PDP-11.

Aha! Found it! I'd been looking for this. Recommended once by YouTube, and then lost.

Paint.App
… on GEM
… on DR-DOS
… on an 8086 PC emulator
… on a Raspberry Pi
… running as a second processor using a BBC Master 128 for I/O.

There's a follow-up re-hash video by @WiFiSheep that explains the tokenization problem with the CIRCLE statement.

Of the many people who have run #Elite on a Pi second processor, none seem to have thought about switching to the PDP-11 emulation and trying to run some early Unix. But seeing DR-DOS on a BBC Master is pretty wild.

Pretty amazing that the #NES, #AppleII, #BBCMaster, and #BBCMasterCompact versions of the seminal 3-D space trading and combat video game #Elite all fundamentally base their source code from the #Commodore64 port. (All pre-dated by the #BBCMicro and #AcornElectron versions, of course.)

A BBC Master video from me, telling the story of how I got a 6502 second processor working, all for one particular reason.

You’ll need to watch the video to find out what that reason was. 😎 🚀

It seems I made it onto Hackaday yesterday with one of my old blog articles from 2020.

The one in question was where I used a Raspberry PI 0W as a WiFi enabled USB drive connected to a GoTek to provide disk images to a BBC Master 128.

NB: this technique works for anything a GoTek can connect to - so I've used it on a BBC Micro, Amiga A1200 and Spectrum +3

@NanoRaptor
I wonder whether someone will be inspired by the #Marchintosh #GlobalTalk stuff to make a worldwide #Econet network for the #BBCMaster and #Archimedes computers? Perhaps there should be such a thing as "Apriscos"?

Elite for the BBC master, enhanced version with all the extras, including music, by @markmoxon .
This is a great version of the game. 😎

Name an 8-bit game that triggers instant nostalgia. I'll start... 😁

@GB followers: Someone interested to exchange my 'Made in GB' #Commodore #C64 breadbin, tested and fully working, against a working #Acorn #BBCmaster in good condition? I'm looking for it for a long time, but nearly impossible in Germany. And this wide used school model lasts in our exhibition.
Please spread the word, thx!
#RetroComputing #ComputerMuseum #LookingFor

Time to play with this. 😎

I’m planning some stuff for a future video.

Phwoargh! Look at the grot on that! Has come up lovely, & if it ever stops raining we'll treat it to some UV too. Proper 5th Nov machine though 🎆 😄 I'd actually ordered a kit before @TonyFishlock even plugged it in.

Thanks to @binarydinosaurs 👍

Super humbled to have the article about my BBC Master published in the latest issue of ⁦‪Pixel Addict magazine , with credits to ⁦‪@MoreFunMakingIt‬⁩ for checking it over. Thanks folks! 👍😎😁

Struggling with getting #Econet to work in #BeebEm #retrocomputing - eventually, I want to connect the emulator to my #PiEconetBridge with some ‘real’ machines (#Electron, #BBCmaster)

Torna @markmoxon per non far (quasi) flickerare i pianeti, oltre che i vascelli, di Elite #BBCMaster #C64 #Plus4.

Per l'occasione, la versione Plus/4, da me intitolata "Elite +4 Flicker free Π" (Pi, per Planetes, ma anche per Pigmy!) ha la vecchia intro da me "potenziata", per celebrare il genio di András "Pigmy" Szigethy che a 15 anni ha convertito il gioco in pochi giorni usando il solo Monitor LM interno.

Tonight’s Twitch stream was brought to you by this beautiful example of British engineering! #BBCMaster

@Friendl74 That's really too vague a request.

It could be _anything_, from @Archie8 with the #HiFi blinkenlichten and SCART cables, through @davetansley still deciding between the #Commodore64 and the #ZXSpectrum, @yawning_angel playing Elite on a #BBCMaster, @wessexweather telling us about TikTok and cyclones, and @cks posting about racoons and snow, to @ska talking about #FOSS and #s6.

Then there are all of the many people on the specialist topical instances. What is "tech"?
