    That was well worth the price of what you paid, I was the guy who asked you at the meet as I am after a BBC B to relive my youth from school during the 80's.

      Hey 👋
      How are you. You mean the one that was talking about the speech. Ya can run the speech 🎤 chips on the master apparently through the master cart slot :). I have many plans for the beeb. Also more Beeb fun on the way :) Thanks for the comment

    I had the BBC B 32K when I was at school. Yes I aM THAT OLD. I use the BeebEm to bring back the good old days. Thanks for saving a BBC Master from the scrapheap.

    You should never let out the Magic Smoke, it kills the pixies that make the computer work.

      I knew it has some use. I need to get a bottle of smoke to refill the replacement caps 🧢 thanks for the comment.

    ViewStore was the database from the View* family - View was the word processor, ViewSheet was the spreadsheet and ViewStore was the database.

    Tough to work on, very complex for an 8bit system.
    Total monolithic epic device though, deserves the attn.

    I love the master beeb, lucky it was only the rifas that blew, unsure why your roms are soldered as mine are socketed I think, luckily I do have one if the rom carts you mentioned

    Too bad these never made an impact over here in Canada, they would have been great.

      They were great 👍 I loved the machine just could not afford one as they were expensive. I think If acorn had gone to plan they should have gone worldwide I think some made it to the states :) thanks for the comment
