ChinnyVision - Ep 278 - Acorn Electron SD Card Interface

Показать описание

Finally what we have all been waiting for, an SD card interface that works on an Acorn Electron with no other expansions required. Is this device a game changer? Does it mean you no longer have to battle with loading games via the tape interface? Time to find out with ChinnyVision!

First! Etc. If there was no disk drive available, how come there are disk images?

Great work Chinny! - Shame about the "bad program" problems... Keen to buy one for my elk.

Have you tried doing a LIST <linenum> when that error occurs? The same type of error can occur on the BBC super MMC cards, and on there its because there's a line of basic that says something like *DISK, when the super MMC ROM only has support for *CARD, and changing that line to *CARD and then running it again solves the problem on the BBC.

I believe the newer version with sideways ram allows for E00 so there shouldn't be problems with the disk images you had! :)

I see the SD card interface is using the SPI mode so it won't be particularly fast, however since it's connected to an '80s machine that probably doesn't matter...

I missed out on a Acorn Electron boxed and in lovely condition a few years back, I would prefer a BBC as that was the School computer back in the 80's, nice to know though that they have a SD devise for the Acorn at a good price. Cheers for the info Chinny

It looks like a solid solution, and far, far, far more usable than the only other Elk solution out there (the GoSDC, which has the worst image management I've seen out of the countless solutions on countless platforms I've tried).

Especially it's revisions, but sadly some of us are SOL here (with the EU only postage), otherwise it's be a no brainer :(

Probably the device pages to 1900 and some Elk Disc images need to page to E00. Great Value but looks like any ssd files needing to Page to E00 will not work

Great video, As I have 2 Elks I must have one of these. But the Ebay link is dead and I cannot find anything close to that description currently listed :(
