I don't suppose anybody here won this? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/236955447510 It also lists "Attack!" as available from "Coolsoft", with "Sword of Scumvit" (!) coming soon - some more titles to add to the missing list, Lee? (Not that Scumvit necessarily made it out into the wild). Statistics: Posted by Arcadian — Thu Aug 20, 2026 6:23 pm

My son's acquired a Mac II Si with Sony PSU. True to form, all the caps on this PSU had leaked horrifically. So I removed them, cleaned the board with IPA, and replaced them. The schematics are here (PSU is last page): https://www.applefritter.com/files/Maci ... arc%29.pdf To my immense surprise, it worked first time! Then a couple of days later, it's stopped. Now, it gives the 5V trickle voltage…
This is just frkn superb Robert, really enjoyed that ..connected with Wi-modem, Beeb and Commstar. What a joy. Major congrats Thanks Brian. I deliberately announced it our your excellent Night Owl BBS first. It seems the most appropriate channel. More viewdata stuff coming soon, hopefully. Thanks for the praise and the privilege Robert, great to have you visiting the boards. Lots of great…
I've just been reading this account of a very similar repair and noticed that he tried reflowing the solder on the dodgy chip first of all. So was that a much simpler possibility I could have tried? I note his fault seems to be an inverted bit rather than a stuck bit though, so maybe that indicates some significant difference in this case. https://www.paulerrington.co.uk/blog/20 ... ation.html…
I do like the Teletext weather symbols. Somewhere I have some Ceefax weather pages, I am sure others do too. Statistics: Posted by BeebMaster — Thu Aug 20, 2026 5:25 pm

Forgot that the function to produce the report is the same function that produces the CSVs too. I've put 1.50.3 online - only changes are those discussed above...plus a bit of tinkering. Statistics: Posted by geraldholdsworth — Thu Aug 20, 2026 4:56 pm
I've just release a new project: https://github.com/markmoxon/delta-14b-tester It's a very simple Delta 14B joystick tester, for use with the Delta 14B joystick and the 14B/1 adaptor. At the moment it only test the keypad, but I'll be adding stick readings soon so you can use it to test the whole stick. It is a lot more useful for testing than the Voltmace utilities, as it shows a constant stream…
