Acorn 2nd Processor (6502).
Complete with DNFS ROM, original manual and disk. £25 including posting and
insurance. Suitable for the BBC B or Master 128 series. Master 512 owners
who desire a turbo board but have no room could go for this slightly slower
alternative. 3mhz 65C02 compared to 4mhz 65C02.
Benefits of the 2nd processor.
Well firstly there's more memory and the computer operates 50% faster (
there's a bigger speed increase with a BBC B than a Master ). Many
applications work with it and benefit from increased speed and storage.
The ram can be used as sideways ram for Roms which are 2nd processor
compatible. Basic and the supplied enhanced Hi-Basic have more memory
available than normal. The disadvantages. Obviously lots of software isn't
compatible with it but it can be switched off instantly. Its a big lump on
the side of the computer and isn't hidden inside the computer.
Lastly most importantly you need a 2nd processor to run Tube Elite. This
96k one load version has enhanced speed, graphics and sound plus new
ships. There's also the star wars intro. The best game ever written for the
BBC and this is the best version. Tube Elite is compatible with normal
commander files and therefore you don't need to start again.
