retrotechtiveMore Acorn goodness tonight, this time with the A7000+ - Simon the Sorcerer talkie version on CD, good ol' Chris Barrie!
Clearly, this is the most important thing to be doing on an A7000+ 😁
Sound fixed and RiscOS4 fully installed on the entire 32GB SD card 🤩
The machine will need a full recap at some point but for now it all works and has an assigned corner to stay set up in 😎👍
Anyone here able to help me get an Acorn A7000 working with a SD card "hard drive"?
I have used !HForm (v2.1 I think) to format the disk on the machine, which seems to work. I can copy stuff to the drive and restart the machine and it still works.
But if I power off and on, the machine seems to then think the drive is unformatted ☹️
Is there some *configure thing I need to do to make it "stick"?
(Also any docs about this would.be appreciated!)

pingterYesterday I was asked if I have any older computers around as a collection of sorts. Of course, I do.
So on a whim I decided to get my A7000+ down and take a photo or two. For some reason I started taking the lid off, and nearly stopped, after a RFI shield noisily clattered out of the lid.
But I opened up further and got to the board, and discovered... a dreaded battery leak.
Anyway, I have now removed the battery, cleaned the mainboard up, and it looks like I just about caught it in time!
It powers on and boots to supervisor, but I couldn't find a PS/2 keyboard & mouse to get any further.
