Hi all,
Posted this as a comment on the original page, but thought I’d put it here to in case anyone is watching the thread more closely.
Am a new NewBrainer here. I actually have a retro computing exhibition that operates out of a UK university, and the NewBrain was a narrative hole in our collection – in an alternate universe the NewBrain was Sinclair’s first microcomputer, and in an alternate alternate universe it was the BBC Micro.
I’d rather assumed there would be a community producing gizmos like the DivMMC for the Spectrum, or at the very least I’d be able to use a Maxduino to load tape images onto it. But it seems as if this is the only game in town.
I’m very much a software rather than hardware guy, so before I go off to JCLPCB, I don’t suppose anyone has any spares of the board lying around (given that people must have had to order five of them!). Obviously happy to pay (within reason).
And on the off-chance – would anyone be willing to make a fully assembled board in return for actual money? You’d be really helping us out to showcase the NewBrain – otherwise it’ll be sitting there at a BASIC prompt while the Speccies are rocking classics like Manic Miner and the C64 will be blasting out epic SID soundtracks! Even the ZX81 will have something going on!
All the best,
Paul
