BeebMaster - My Beebs


My Beebs

I have an ever-expanding collection of BBC computers, including Acorn machines before and after the BBC micro and a multitude of add-ons and peripherals.

I hope you will click on the picture links below to learn more about my collection:



My Econet

My main Econet is a permanent installation of 4 BBC network stations and FileStore file server.

My SJ Research MDFS

My MDFS lives in the BeebMaster Workshop (i.e. dining room) and forms the backbone of my ad hoc 'Weekend Econet' with whatever else, 8-bit or 32-bit, I need to use at the time to do whatever I'm doing! Take a look at all my MDFS main units and expansion boxes here!

My Domesday Machine

I am lucky to have my own BBC Domesday System, which I put together over a number of years from original parts starting with a basic BBC Master 128.

My Master 512

In fact, I own two Master 512s, and this section takes a closer look at this rather interesting machine, available as an upgrade to the standard Master 128.

My 8-bit Machines

From BBC computers like the Model B and Master 128 to pre-BBC Atoms and Systems.

My 8-Bit Peripherals

Anything and everything that connects up to an 8-bit Acorn that isn't covered anywhere above!

My Electrons

I have a small collection of Acorn Electrons and add-ons which you can see here.

My 32-bit Machines

Here you can see my Archimedes A410/1, A420/1, A3000, Acorn Network Computer and A4 laptops!

My Econet Bits

File Servers, Clocks, socket boxes, terminators, interfaces and modules - it's all in my Econet collection!

My Cheese Wedges

My collection of these distinctive-looking 8-bit add-ons is here. Also you will find third-party cheese wedge add-ons and second processors.

My Hard Discs

From fully-working Acorn and Technomatic Winchester Discs to my collection of old ST506 and SCSI discs and controller boards and host adapters.

My Nexus Kit

I don't know much about Nexus, the 32-bit networking system devised by SJ Research, but I've got a few bits, and probably enough to have my very own Nexus network, if I knew how to work it!

My Greatest Find

Every now and again I am offered a collection which is irresistible. The greatest of them all was in May 2003, just after BeebMaster first began!

Special Features

PC Downgrade

In March 2007, a new PC at home gave me the opportunity to attempt to perform the ultimate PC downgrade.

My Broken Things
