BBC micro and Turbo MMC/SPI lookover and test

We take a look at a battered old Beeb and a seriously cheep solid state disk drive.

Great video. I'm itching for a BBC Micro after a few of the videos I've been watching recently. Nice little storage solution :)

I want to rebirth so you can adopt me!

Excellent =D L-O-L @ that floating IC! Definitely a pin or two hardly (if at all) making a connection there! BTW - you can press shift and break to boot any disk that is bootable (including the menu on that). Also, whilst these appear to support uSD cards, they actually don't - it only supports uSD cards that have SPI support. It can be super hard finding new uSD cards that will work with them. But older ones mostly seem to support SPI.

I didn't know any of the micro sd cards supported SPI I thought it was only the older full size SD cards that did. I guessed that this interface was using a small micro to interface between the micro SD and the user port. perhaps I'm wrong then and this really is as you say based on a micro SD that supports SPI.

Me and my 7 year old daughter played through Granny’s Garden earlier today on a Beeb emulator.

Modern problems require modern solutions. I'd like to see you try Elite on that Beeb!

CRSR left/right, page back/forward. CRSR up/down you found, TAB then letter jumps to the games starting with that letter. Keys usually ZX/: or AZ,.

Awesome thanks for that info.

Shift + tap Break to load..

[@TheHighlander71]

Phew...that just made it through quality control. Only barely though.

[@Jayoldstuff1]

Think the quality control guy was off the day this one was made.
