Looking at an SD card storage solution for my BBC Master (checking out the SD2BBC from @futurewas8bit.bsky.social ), & taking a detour into some graphics software along the way. AMX Art anyone? 🤔

Join me for another outing of the BBC Master.

Have been playing with this again today… so much so that it will appear in my next BBC Master video. 😅

Anyone remember AMX Art on the BBC Micro from school and college days? 🤔😁

I just got it running in my Master. Without the mouse is a challenge though. 😅

It’s another BBC Master video from me and in this one I’m taking a quick look at Word Processing 1980’s style using VIEW.

Also, can we transfer a word processing document from the Master to a modern Mac? 🤔

Worth a try. 😁

Sometimes it’s the little things that help make a video more interesting. Like setting up a scene to film 3 seconds of b-roll that help tell a story and explain what you are doing. Hopefully. 😅

Yes… a new video is in the works. Most of the filming done today save for one last bit which I’ll get to in a day or so, but I have enough footage to start editing. 😁

Hoping to get a new video underway this week.

The plan is in place, and things seem to be working. 😅

Yes, it'll be another BBC Master view before I box it up and put it away so I can get back to the Amiga A500 ('Big Red').

Playing around filming some b-roll for my next video, and I took these stills when I was done. Can’t make my mind up between the red and the green. 🤔

Join me as I re-visit the 6502 second processor on my BBC Master, and try to configure it correctly this time. 😅

This one’s about the *CONFIGURE command. Who would have thought? 🤔

The follow up to my BBC Master Second Processor video is here. Let’s look at and play Elite, in 3D! 😱

A BBC Master video from me, telling the story of how I got a 6502 second processor working, all for one particular reason.

You’ll need to watch the video to find out what that reason was. 😎 🚀
