" vs "colour"),
That makes sense. I noticed that the ROM containing BASIC is
labeled "US BASIC".
What is "DFS OS"?
I was surprised to find that it uses an intel 8271 for floppy
drive controller.
It powered up up but isn't recognizing any keys except the
BREAK key. I ran it for over an hour then one of the rectangular
tantalum filter caps in the PSU blew. Fixing the PSU shouldn't be
a problem. Does anyone know what they use for a keyboard
interface (if it even uses one)? or if there's any schematics
posted anywhere for it?
Joe,
Your best bet for all Beeb related question is this site:
http://bbc.nvg.org/docs.php3
It contains the full service manual, user manuals and tons of other useful
stuff.
cheers
