Subject: WATFORD RAM/ROM BOARD
!!! FOR SALE !!!
I have a fully working WATFORD RAM/ROM
BOARD for sale. This has never been
used and is in full working order. If
you do not know what this is, it is a
piece of machinery that plugs into
the computer to give the user more ROM
space and so you can use an extra 16
ROMS in your machine. I bought this
approximately a week ago from my
school for 20 pounds and so I have
decided to ask 10 pounds for it. If
you are interested then please send a
stamped addressed envelope to :
GARY SCOTT
7 TRAFFORD ROAD
FAIR OAK

SO50 - 7LB.
Please mark all envelopes
!!!URGENT!!!
Thank You.

Subject: Doomsday
Last month I released a new ROM for
the 8-bit Acorn series of computers
called Doomsday.
As a brief recap, it fixes the year
2000 problem and also adds some new
*commands.
For a little more of a recap see the
webpage
www.york.ac.uk/÷rps102/bbc/bbc.htm
This now has an entire area dedicated
to Doomsday and it's usage.
As well as orders for the new ROM I've
received some letters asking for
details, which I thought might be
useful to repeat here:
Will Doomsday work with my Master
Compact?
Yes, however the Master Compact will
need to have had the appropriate
hardware added to the expansion port.
Does the 'timezone' command only
handle BST and GMT?
No, the timezone command is flexible
enough to add offsets from -13 to +13
hours onto the base time, so you could
take it on holiday to Australia with
you!
I have a BBC B+ so how will I fit the
ROM?
The manual has full details of how to
fit the ROM in a BBC, BBC+, and Master
series
When and where can I get this ROM?
The Doomsday ROM is available NOW,from
my usual address,or you can speak to
me in person at the Wakefield Acorn
show,May 17th/18th 1997,at stand 65.
I hope this clears up any questions
you may have had,
Robert Sprowson.
