4th May 1998
Dear Gus,
Yet another chapter in my Monitor saga.Acorn AKF12.If anyone's interested
this RGB TV type Monitor has a Scart input,which Acorn Risc Os computers
can use and a TTL input which is suitable for 8 bitters (Elk,BBC,etc).I've
just got hold of one of these and so I'm back in business.Elk and
A3010,happily sharing the same monitor,without swapping and changing
cables.
What's more the instruction book,gives the full pinout of both connectors
so if anyone's strugglimg out there let me know and I'll happily send
details.Also if anyone wants one of these monitors,the person who sold me
mine,may still have another one for about #75 :

--------------------------------------
On another note,what on earth happened to the Menu program(s) on EUG Feb
iss 36.Since my previous Dual purpose monitor blew up,some time ago,my Elk
has lain somewhat dormant and I've been viewing EUG Discs via the Beeb
emulator on my A3010,without problem.However on receiving my "new" AKF12
just last week,I decided to bring old faithful back into play.Only to find
I couldn't get beyond the Main Menu for "No Room" errors.I tried it on my
Spare Elk as well,with the same result.
On investigation,it appears Feb iss has Menu Program V2.This is quite
different to whats gone before.Thus I copied Oct iss 34 menu over and
changed the filenames etc and it worked perfectly.Seeing as how V1,worked
so well,why change it ? Or is there more to it than that ?
---------------------------------------
8th May
EUG 37's arrived and I've just noticed reference to the offending menu
prog.I have two Elks of almost identical set up thus :
Electron with slogger 64K Ram board.Usually set to 32K for reading
EUG.Setting switch to 64K did not remove the "No Room" errors.
Acorn +1 with ACP/PRES AP2 Rom in place of original +1 Rom
ACP AP4 (DFS) with ADFS in extra socket.One set up has PRES ADFS and one
has Acorns original ADFS.
3.5in DS DD disk drive (720K) which gives ADFS 640K when using ADFS (L)
format.
My Main set up also has SP64 fitted internally and an additional 5.25
drive.
As I've said both set ups would not run EUG 36 and also using the UNPLUG
command to switchout DFS rom etc made no difference
----------------------------------------
I've also found one or two glitches in EUG 37 !
On Booting up the Title Screen flashed past and went straight to the
Menu.I cured it by changing line 60 of TITLE to IF GET and by adding line
65 REPEAT : UNTIL INKEY (-99)
None of the Sub menus except Games would allow "Return to Main
Menu".This was cured by adding $ after DIR in line 610 of LMENU,FMENU and
PMENU.The line in GMENU was 620,but this had $ in already,so wasn't
a problem.
----------------------------------------
8 Bit Software,incidentally have all their submenus controlled from one
Menu program and their discs run without any problems on both my Elks,
albeit without Mode 7.Obviously I'm not suggesting Richard nicks their
coding,but a little look might be inspiring.
----------------------------------------
If Mark Bellis is so sure of the future of the RISC processor,then surely
the only PC he wants is a RISC PC.IBM PC compatability is then available
by plugging in a PC card.That way he'll get the best of both worlds.If
PC owners start coming over to the RISC platform,he'll already be
there.The latest PC cards are 586's and the fastest run at 133Mhz,with
512K cache and will quite happily run Windows 95 or 3.11. RISC PCII is
due out (probably early next year) and that will more than likely allow even
faster PC cards.
CD rom drives and a fair selection of Acorn compatible CD roms are
available for any Acorn Risc computer (I have one connected to my
A3010),although obviously a PC card (or reader) is needed to access
Windows type CD roms.
The internet can be accessed by any computer with the right Hardware and
Software.Indeed Dec 1997 issue of Acorn User had a quite detailed two page
article on connecting a BBC.
Most of your 8 bit Acorn Stuff should run via emulation on a Risc PC and
any that don't run with Acorns Beeb emulator,can usually be sorted out by
a rather good Emulator from Warm Silence Software.This with an extra
module will even run DFS discs.Many others can be "patched" by a nifty
little package called Strong guard/Game on from the Arm Club.
---------------------------------------
I mentioned a utility that Robert Sprowson made for me a little while
ago.It converts AMX/BBC screens and pages into Sprites for RISC OS
computers and works in the Desktop.I've had no objections from him for
distributing it,so I've included it on this disc.Its called
!AMXconvert.Its instructions are contained within the program in a Help
file.
I think that's covered everything for now.

The menu in EUG36 was intended to put all the EUG menus into one program
to reduce errors on my part and reduce file count. It had a bug. ME.
If you load the menu remove line 1000 onwards and save it again it should
work fine as you can see from this disc which is using the same menu.
I have put a replacement EUG36 menu on this disc.
Your AMX/BBC to RISC utilities are in the P directory. There didn't seem
to be a text file to go with them so they do not appear on the menu but
can be found by cataloging P directory.
