Subject: Help with printer
Can anyone help me with the DIP switch
settings for my printer. I need to
print POUND signs but it prints a '
sign pointing to the left.
The printer is a Super 5 EP-2400. Has
anyone ever heard of this printer? If
so please help. I use VIEW on the
Master. Is there any other way to tell
the printer to print POUND signs. I
believe the printer is Epson
compatible.
Thank you...Jeremy

Subject: Broken BBC B
I have two BBC's that are not working
well.
The first BBC has a problem with mode
7 only. I believe that the teletext
generator chip has failed. Can anyone
tell me what chip this is and is it
still available?
The second BBC has an intermittent
problem. It passes the Watford
diagnostic tests, but sometimes it
will just crash and when you turn it
off and on you get the BASIC prompt
but no cursor. Is this one of the
ULA's?
All help appreciated

Subject: BBC+ / Master speaker
Is there any way to adjust the speaker
volume on the BBC+ computer like on
the standard BBC computer. If not,what
value poentiometer should I fit?
The same question for the Master
'QUIET' is still far to loud for me. I
need to reduce the volume further.
Please help!
Thank you....Jeremy

Does anybody know how to make up a
cable from the BBC RS423 port to the
WS2000 modem? What is the 1200eqv
setting for? The manual does not
explain this setting. The modem is a
later type with five led's.

Subject: Power supply
Having bought a Master for spares I
discovered the power supply to be
faulty, does anyone have a Master
power supply for sale, or is anyone
able to repair same. When the power is
switched on the fuse on the main board
blows immediately, not much to go on I
know, but any ideas?
Assuming I get it working! I shall
require the Master manuals, any offers?
When I opened the case I found it
contained a 65c102 second processor,
I think it may be a turbo but not
sure, I understand it was supplied
with software on disc, (Hi-BASIC,
Hi-Edit, Buffer), can someone let me
have a copy of the disk and of any
manuals.

I have stumbled across what
appears to be an Acorn approved *FX
call that involved a RAM board.
Since I intend on building myself
a RAM board, I should like, wherever
possible to make the software for it
compatible with this call.
It is listed as:
*FX111 Aries RAM board OSByte.
Do any Aries board owners have
information - if so I'll refund any
photocopying/postage costs if you
write to Robert Sprowson,
6 Bollinbrook road,
MACCLESFIELD,
Cheshire.

Subject: Help with Telephones
Does anybody know how to get a UK
telephone to work overseas. The line
voltage in the UK is 60dc but the line
voltage in Cairo is only 40dc. Is it
just a case of changing a resistor? I
have seen some BT PABX systems here,
so I know that it is possible.
Thank you
