In the days of Viglen, and the beeb, a
PC type housing was made ....
These housings came in two parts, one
for the keyboard and the other for the
mother board, power supply etc.
The second part also provided space
for two disc drives together with a
power supply for the drives, beeb loud
speaker and a sidewise ROM socket.
I am hoping that by now someone may
well be saying "I've got one of those
I don't want any more", or even have
two going spare.
Yes you've got it (I hope) I am
looking for two such beasts.
I would be most please to hear from
anyone who may be able to furnish me
with one or both such units. Please
don't forget they came with a coiled
lead for the keyboard connection.
Please 'phone or fax on 0181 599 2541
or just call in if you are passing and
have a chat over a cuppa and a bickie.
at ... 106 Mill Lane,
Chadwell Heath,
Thanks for Romford,
your help Mike. Essex.

Subject: Wanted - sound card
I am still looking for a sound card
for my ageing Amstrad PC2286.
Can anyone help please?
An older type 8 bit Soundblaster or
Adlib card should do. Anything more
up-to-date would probably by out of
proportion to the value of the
computer!
Any help greatfully appreciated.

Subject: WANTED - (Trains)
Like most children my grandson, he's
five and a half is train mad. Oh yes
he enjoys the computer, rides his
bicycle, swims (after a fashion),
plays with his sister and other girls
but lives TRAINS.
I want to get him an electric train
set, something like his dad had when
he was a lot younger.
I forget the various gauges but
anything up to rail width of one and a
quarter inches approximately which can
be mounted on a 4 foot square sheet of
hardboard would be suitable.
A train, a couple of coaches or
trucks, a signal and possibly a
station would be very acceptable.
As an OAP I cannot afford to purchase
a new outfit for him, one very simple
one I enquired about was in the region
of eighty pounds........way beyond my
pocket money.
Now surely among our members there
must be somebody who has one which
they have outgrown and which is now
tucked away in the attic or somewhere
which they would be prepared to sell
me at a reasonable price.
I have been advised by well wishers to
attend 'Boot sales', but with
arthritic legs (and other parts) I can
only walk a very short distance before
I've had it.
So please, can anybody help me.
I will answer ALL letters and refund
postage.
