BeebMaster - What's New

What's New 2008

See below for the latest updates to BeebMaster

1st May 2008 BEEBMASTER'S FIFTH BIRTHDAY!

It's hard for me to believe that I have been doing this for five years. In some ways it only seems like yesterday that I was playing about with my little webcam capturing some snapshots of my Beeb items, but in other ways it has become such a part of my way of life over the last five years that it feels like I have always been doing this!

I've chalked up over 35,000 hits since May 2003, and heard from dozens, if not hundreds, of people connected with the BBC micro in so many different ways. I hope that you will continue to get in touch with me with tales from days of yore, or information or requests for help. You can always get me at BeebMaster@BeebMaster.co.uk and I'll try to get back to you.

I am continuing the theme which has defined 2008 so far with another new item not previously seen on BeebMaster, my Electron Plus 1 which I hope you will take a look at.

A departure from this, however, forms another part of today's update. It is my new section on the BBC Master 512 which I think is going to be very exciting. Today sets the scene by looking at the Master 512 hardware and getting going in the DOS Plus operating system, but there's much more to come on using DOS Plus, copying the system floppy discs, running the GEM software suite, using hard discs with the Master 512, and third party ROMs CPFS and Fastboot, so please come back soon for more!

21st April 2008 So far, 2008 has been a year of new items for BeebMaster. I've been bringing you things not previously seen on my website, and I thought I would continue in the same spirit for today's update - my Acorn Prestel Adapter and I hope you will click on the link to take a look!

24th March 2008 Yep, you were right! You knew I'd be back over Easter and here I am! A long bank holiday weekend is always a good time for a website update. I'm pleased to say that I have received some very nice messages about by new Electron pages and so, spurred on by this feedback, today's update is a first look at the Acorn Electron in action, which I hope you will pop along to here.

31st January 2008 Better late than never, I'm back to wish you a happy new year!

The first update of 2008 sees the launch of a new section all about the Acorn Electron so I hope you will take a look!
