I recently installed BeebEm www.mikebuk.dsl.pipex.com/beebem/ an emulator of the famous 1980's BBC Microcomputer. The screenshot shows the even more infamous Elite game. Ah, the memories come flooding back of a wasted youth playing this game. Way back then I owned an Acorn Electron (the baby sister of the BBC). Infact I still have it, and after all these years it still works :) (they don't make 'em like they used to!). I had to save up my pocket & odd job money for a whole year to help contribute towards purchasing it. Earlier this year (2005) I had the pleasure of meeting Ian Bell the co-writer of Elite, at the LUGRadio Live event, and I managed to get the training manual signed by him (sad I know!). This was the height of gaming back in 80's, and its 3d wireframe graphics was such a WOW factor, especially on an 8bit microcomputer with only 32k memory.

This is a revised version of the schematic. It has tie down of the data lines. Buffering of all control lines which are tied up and the buffer and bus transceiver are disabled when the 3.3v supply is missing. A short time ago the NRM had the Great Gathering and had six of Sir Nigel Gresley's A4 locomotives (including Mallard, which still has the steam locomotive speed record) all in one place. Two have now left but four still remain.
