Subject: Why FIGHT?
Yes, why? We are a small band of like
minded computer users. Wouldn't it be
nice if we could be friends?
Life would be that much more pleasant.
If you must FIGHT amongst yourselves
then keep it that way ... amongst
yourselves. I don't want to read about
it.
Am I alone on this?
Regards, Paul D4H.

Subject: HARD DISK
Hi !!!
My name is Gary Scott and as
you can probably tell I have only just
joined 8BS. I know quite a lot about
my BBC MICROCOMPUTER which has
a 1770 upgrade. I have written off to
many user groups requesting
information and from what I have
received, there is mention to HARD
DISKS. I know what a HARD DISK is but
what I need to know is: CAN A BBC
MICRO WITH A 1770 UPGRADE HAVE A HARD
DISK AND SO HOW MUCH DO THEY COST, ARE
THEY HARD TO FIT, CAN I FIT THEM
MYSELF AND DO THEY TAKE UP MUCH ROOM ?
If you have any answers to any of the
questions or if you have any more
information about this subject then
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE
8BSmail me on D9F(GARY SCOTT)
THANKS !!!

Subject: ATPL BOARD
Hi !!!
My name is Gary Scott and as
you will notice I have only just
joined 8BS. I have sent some messages
but I have had no reply and so I have
decided to ask all 8BS members if they
can help. I have a BBC MICROCOMPUTER
with a 1770 upgrade. I have recently
been looking for ROM chips to plug
into my computer and I have bought so
many that I need more space. I have
been told that this is what
an ATPL board does and so if anyone has
any information on this subject, ie.
if they know where I can get one, then
it would be grately appreciated !!!
THANKS !!!
EDITOR.......Try here!

Subject: ADFS & DFS
HI !!!
My name is Gary Scott and I am
a new member of 8BS. I have sent many
messages and so this is one of many.
As I have only just got my BBC I am
trying to collect information on it's
uses and abilities. I have created
a GUIDE TO DFS although I can not find
any information on ADFS and so any
avaliable information would be
appreciated. I am willing to pay or
pay for photocopying although the
cheaper the better.
I also have a problem where
when I load up my ADFS Welcome Disk
and I try to use *AFORM a message
appears saying that I have the wrong
type of machine. What is the right
type of machine and what do you need
to use ADFS ???
From: D9F (GARY SCOTT)
Subject: WANTED !!!
Does anybody have a BBC compatible
PRINTER for sale. I only have a BBC
with a 1770 upgrade and I have no
PRINTER DRIVERS or PRINTER ROMS. The
smaller the better although any reply
would be excellent !!! ( THE CHEAPER
THE BETTER TOO )
ANY PRINTER INFORMATION WOULD BE
APPRECIATED !!!

Subject: Music 5000
Allow me to make just a general
comment before my contribution re the
music 5000. Like me, I am aware that
there are a considerable number of
members who feel that they have little
to offer because of lack of expertese
in computing on the BBC Micro. Some
have courageously sent in messages
asking for help, giving thanks,
selling equipment or just introducing
themselves. Keep it all coming for it
is all much appreciated by 'Dodos'like
me who often are totally confused by
articles by more experienced
contributers.
Now back to Hybrid 5000. I have
noticed recently that there has been
an upsurge of interest in this
excellent system but there would
appear to be little information
available from any source. I cannot
give much help in this direction but
it may be helpful to others if I
comment on my own limited experience.
Hybrid Technology would seem to have
disappeared from the face of the earth
(unless someone can tell me
otherwise). Last known address that I
have is 273 Science Park Cambridge CB4
4WE, but doubt if they are still
there. The equipment I have is:
The 5000 Synthesiser with associated
Rom. There was a Music 1000 Amplifier,
a Music 2000 Interface, a Music 3000
Expander. a Music 4000 Keyboard, a
Music 6000 Sensor. all available at
one time, to complete the set up, if
you had the cash to spend.
I only have the Music 5000 Synthesiser
, complete with Rom, hooked up to my
BBC Master 128. I have the Synth. out-
put connected to a Tandy stereo
amplifier which in turn is connected
to two miniture speakers which give
out a most satisfying sound.
Incidently, I have the audio o/p from
the Master connected to a seperate i/p
on the amplifier and enjoy ordinary
musical contributions from the 'Beep'.
The Amp is switchable.
The manual for the 5000 is absolutely
necessary for using the System.
Other Manuals such as the Ample
Toolbox and Ample Nucleus, together
with associated discs were available
as were lots of other accessories.
The System was well supported by a
Users Club run by a chap called Roy
Follett. The club was known as
Amplinex. Unfortunately Ron died in
Jan.'93 and the club died with him.
There were discs with musical
compositions available from both
Hybrid and Amplinex but there is the
difficulty of copywrite involved
should you manage to trace them.
It would be a pity if such a good
System should die the death for it had
much to offer. If anyone out there has
any ideas on how to sustain interest,
I would be pleased to hear from them.
If I can be of any further help, let
me know.
