One for the 80s kids - Domesday now works on Master

Post by Higgy »

I personally think this is massive, as at the time the Domesday machine was just so futuristic. Full colour video coming out of an 8bit machine. Not seen anything like it. And the discs!

Anyway Stardot.org member dp11 has managed to get the Domesday machine working on a BBC Master.

You will need:
BBC Master
Pi1Mhz
PiTube
A ROM burnt or a way of loading it into RAM.

The video files are stored the MicroSD of the Raspberry Pi controlling the Pi1Mhz and the video also comes from it's HDMI.

Video here:

I got my Internal PiTube PCB delivered and fitted an original RPi 1 Model B (needs various parts removing to fit) so that fits and works.

Got the VFS.rom burnt to an EPROM.

And the Pi1Mhz has been posted to me today. So hopefully by the end of next week I will have my very own BBC Domesday machine up and running.
