Title: , I need help identifying this BBC  machine. Post by: thx1138 on July 05, 2004, 08:08:25 AM Pulled from a skip by Mrs.THX yesterday. It had been sat in the rain..... :( and some water was inside. I've dried it off completely now, nut have yet to attempt to plug it in.
It's a 5.25" disc drive by the way (http://homepage.ntlworld.com/thx1138/bbcv.jpg) (http://homepage.ntlworld.com/thx1138/bbcva.jpg) (http://homepage.ntlworld.com/thx1138/bbcvb.jpg) (http://homepage.ntlworld.com/thx1138/bbcvd.jpg) Title: Re: , I need help identifying this BBC  machine.

Title: Re: , I need help identifying this BBC  machine. Post by: thx1138 on July 05, 2004, 09:43:10 AM I just tried powering it up, expected it to go "bang" or just not work.
It works! :) This thing had water running out of it yesterday when it was rescued from a pile of rubbish! Dunno if the disc drive works, but I doubt it. Title: Re: , I need help identifying this BBC  machine. Post by: Izret101 on July 05, 2004, 11:50:17 AM free is always good even water logged free
water isnt as bad as people say it is either though... unless the system is on my gameboy and a couple of games got left out in the rain and within a half a day it worked again just left it tilted on one corner and it dribbled out fine Title: Re: , I need help identifying this BBC  machine.
