EUG has been making requests regarding equipment available for the Elk and I've got rather a lot (although at some stage I'll be thinning it out) so have decided to list my current setup for this issue:-
64K ELECTRON WITH BUILT-IN SP64 AND USER PORT WITH MOUSE
PLUS 3 (ACORN) ATTACHED TO ELECTRON (DOUBLE-SIDED DRIVE)
PLUS 1 (ACORN)
PLUS 2 (PRES) FITTED TO ACORN PLUS 1
SECOND DRIVE ATTACHED TO C/B OF PLUS 3 VIA SWITCH BOX
SWITCH BOX CONNECTED TO TWO 34W IDC SOCKETS SO TWO DRIVES CAN BE DRIVE 1
5.25" DRIVE WITH OWN PSU
3.5" DRIVE WITH OWN PSU
CASSETTE RECORDER
STAR LC100 COLOUR PRINTER
32K SWR CARTRIDGE
VIEW
VIEWSTORE
ADI (ADVANCED DISK INVESTIGATOR)
ADT (ADVANCED DISK TOOLKIT)
T2P3
ADVANCED ELECTRON DFS (In spare socket on SP64 board)
ADFS E00 (On disk, loads into SWR)
EDFS E00 REMAPPED DRIVES (Makes Internal Drive 1 and External 0) to load into SWR)
I've got rather a lot at the moment, although at some stage I'll be thinning it out. Trouble is that people selling up often want rid of all at once, don't want to split items up, and so I end up buying job lots and consequently have two copies of the same item (or more!)
Anyway, that's what I use, although I also have another 64K number that I'm using while Bill Bradbury sorts my other one out. He's had it since March now! I was hoping to replace my Plus 3 with an AP4 (DFS) with the ADFS option added and I picked one of these up quite cheaply. But it also needed to be repaired and ACP are still sorting it out from December last year! [1994 - Ed] Shame as this keeps PAGE at &E00.
I also have a spare Acorn Plus 1 with an AP2 ROM plus two spare cassette recorders (One's a pukka Acorn Data Recorder). This stuff is likely to be up for sale shortly as I've just sent off some serious dosh for Derek Walker's all singing, all dancing "Electron Extraordinaire", hard drive et al. More on this beast when I get to grips with it.

I wondered who would get their hands on Derek's Superelk. I didn't have enough readies in the end but don't forget to review it. Knowing Derek, it should be good.
