D'oh! That link doesn't work... and I still haven't actually seen any
pics of the machine :-)
I am a doofus - it's .html and not .htm. Curse micros~1 and it's stupid
naming conventions!
btw, spare case will be looking for a home in case
anyone wants to bodge
together their own ACW/ABC. Just give me a while as I believe the
previous owner of the machine said that the spare case has a screen in
it which is in much better condition than the ABC 210's, so I'll probs
swap them over.
Yours is the ABC-310 innit? I thought the 210 was the workstation.....not
that it matters of course :) There's a screen in the case aye, and an
analogue board that's different to the rest of 'em.
something nasty going on with the ROMs on the B+ side
(which is going to
be more tricky, given that it's perhaps the last of its kind...)
Fingers crossed then, though can't I dump the ROMs of mine? I thought the
main difference between the 210 and 310 was a 286 copro and DOS instead of
the 32016 and PANOS.
Actually, if you can get the 210 to me this week and I
can get it
running then I can bring it along to the CGE show. I'll be there on the
Saturday for sure, not sure about the Sunday yet.
You can come and get it any night this week, just give me a call and I'll
give you directions. Help me disassemble it for photographic purposes....
Having said that, the car's already totally full
of stuff for the
stand... hmm...
I'm sure there's summat that can be sacrificed for the ABC :) Between us
we might be duplicating stuff so we can sort it out when you get the
machine.
btw, you were looking for an Atari 800 weren't
you? Think I've found one
that's looking for a good home. Watch this space.
Cool. That'll only leave the 1400XL then (and 1450XLD, hehehe) but I
s'pose I've got not much hope of getting my paws on one of those!
