You lucky devil - I've
been looking for a BBC Micro ARM Evaluation Kit for
years! I saw one at a show ("Last ARM Evaluation Kit In Existence") - that
just made me want one even more :-)
[BBC Micro expense]
Is that the
"ARM evaluation unit" (or labelled as something
similar)? I've got one of those *somewhere* but no docs / software
for it. Think it had 4MB of memory which was a reasonable amount in
those days.
ARM Evaluation Kit - yep - that's the one. I do have various discs
and manuals for it, too. I used to love the "twin" editor - several
open files at one, and could cut and paste between them. Ahead of
it's time...
It's all boxed up somewhere under the stairs though. They were expensive, but much more expandable than the
spectrum. At
one point I had about six of them in my bedroom on an econet network,
had several on modems running a multi-user BBS.
I've been wanting to get some
Econet Interface boards for my A3000, A3010
and Master 128 and get them going on a small Econet network. The fact that I
need a "clock box" has slightly dissuaded me...
