      For my old computer I now use an old notebook which loads and saves the data in WAV files over the speaker and microphone plugs. I also have a program that can recover the binary data from the WAV samples. How about writing a digital tape recorder program with which you can archive everything from the old tapes?

      The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here
      This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a fucking golf cart.

          I think that was about the price when first it came out? Includes 'Chuckie Egg', 'Sinclair BASIC' and 'Game bundle (2) to access the device’s additional features and exclusive content hmmm...I have no desire to program in basic I wonder if any other languages will be available?

              Mine (48k) cost £129.99, though the prices had dropped by then. The 16k version retailed for £99.99, but few games worked. According to this[^] ,they started off at £125 and £175 respectively.

                IIRC you had to write your own assembler - the BBC Micros had it built in you just put your assembly code between "[" & "]" :~

                        Ahh fun! I remember having to memory upgrades for a couple of friends who had the 16K version to 48K, the sockets were there but no chips. I did do a mod for the key board to one of them as well! Oh those were the days!:thumbsup:

                            Forth and assembler on a Jupiter Ace - now that's taking me back literally to where I started playing with computers.

                              The only time I saw the original in stores, it was on clearance for $50. I'm tempted to buy one of these new ones, but the wife freaked out last night when she found out I'd just bought another used computer -- an HP Itanium server to complete my VAX-Alpha-Itanium museum. :cool:
