BBC Micro - Part Three: Can This Little ACORN Grow Up To Be A Massive OAK?

Video Description

Hi Everyone, and in this video we'll be pimping up our BBC Micro Model B following it's recent refurbishment. I want this machine to become my daily driver for writing episodes for the channel, but to do so we need to upgrade the machine to make it more usable in these days of expecting instant results. So we'll be fitting: A 1770 Disk Filing System A Gotek Drive with FlashFloppy Firmware A 128k Sideways RAM/ROM Expansion Card An SPI MMFS SD Card Solution There'll be one further episode in this series where we fit a Raspberry Pi Co-Processor to get a 300Mhz BBC Micro! In that episode, we'll also do a deep dive into the features of the hardware we install today. Hope you enjoy the video! P.S. First video with new audio equipment - let me know in the comments if this is an improvement for you. Thanks!
