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+ ๐
Sound fixed and RiscOS4 fully installed on the entire 32GB SD card ๐คฉ
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 ๐๐
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 โน๏ธ
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.
