Introduce Yourself • Hello, and thanks for letting me in!

Hi, I am Emily, based in the UK and knocking on the door of 50. I got my first computer, a BBC Master 128 with a cub monitor and disk drive in 1987 and was hooked on acorns (I think my folks have just about paid off what it cost them :-D)

I have an Electron, a B, a Master 128 and an A3000 in my collection. I have also got two special projects I made from scrap cases - MiSTer Beeb, whocj is a MiSTer FPGA implementation in a BBC Micro case using an original keyboard and my new PiCorn Electron, which is a Pi 5 based system in an Electron case, again using the original keyboard (plus some new keycaps where the previous owner used them as a cigarette rest.)

My A3000 is my next project, suffering with the old favourite of battery leakage which has pretty much lunched the board - I have just bought one of the excellent recreation boards and will be working on resurrection. I am super excited by the prospect of adding a DVI/HDMI output using the podule bay - and might need some helpful hints.

My dayjob is with RS Components, which is very handy for getting bits and pieces for my escapades with the pointy hot thing.

Well, enough rambling, and again thank you for having me.
