Yeah, I know … a bit old story but like I’ve written before, machines and pics are piling while I move on to other projects and these are waiting in a queue.

Anyway, I’ve realized that I need to catch up with all the older jobs that I did simply because I will soon forget what it was all about lol!

Before this particular Acorn Archimedes A3020, I’ve played a bit with the A3000 that Bachoo/SaveTheFloppy (old cert warning) brought for fixing. It is a nice machine but I barely had an opportunity to play with it as a fix was very easy. That particular A3000 didn’t want to co-operate with the monitor and Bachoo didn’t know how to sort it out. Moreover, he’d give it to another guy who had no clue how to use interwebz search engines like duckduckgo.com either 😉

If I remember correctly the fix was about holding down either the ‘Delete’ key to reset CMOS or ‘T’ as described on startdot.org.uk forums
