Good summary of potential disk/drive issues and cleaning options: http://www.retrotechnology.com/herbs_stuff/clean_disks.html http://www.retrotechnology.com/herbs_stuff/clean_disks.html. Spatula-shaped cotton wool buds are handy for cleaning drives, as there might not be much room inside.
As per the article, http://stardot.org.uk/ http://stardot.org.uk/ is a good resource for all things BBC Micro in general.
- justinlloyd 6y agoPurchase a scan converter. There is a popular OpenSource project and many manufacturers are making them. Several support RGB, S-Video, RF, VGA and SCART and can upscale to something a 1080p HDMI TV/monitor can use. Supremely useful for all of those retro consoles and computers in our modern day. Kaicco is the more popular brand for the project, though I don't think that one supports S-Video. Edit: You can connect a BBC Micro (and many other 8-bit micros) to the standard OSCC. It simply doesn't have the plug on the board, you will need an adapter cable.
