You have to remember that GP practises are actually private companies and only contracted by the NHS. This is why there's a lack of consistancy.

True, and shouldn't be the case IMHO, but what can you do?stephen_usher wrote: 27 May 2021 10:19 You have to remember that GP practises are actually private companies and only contracted by the NHS. This is why there's a lack of consistancy.
Not a lot. *sigh* Anyway...rubber_jonnie wrote: 27 May 2021 10:39True, and shouldn't be the case IMHO, but what can you do?stephen_usher wrote: 27 May 2021 10:19 You have to remember that GP practises are actually private companies and only contracted by the NHS.

Wasn't feeling great last night so didn't do it, but have another one arriving today, so will hopefully get that hooked up later and then I'll hopefully have a reference to work from, and will also check the dead one.stephen_usher wrote: 27 May 2021 10:43
Have you managed to hook the beeb up to a display to see if it gets any further?
It took me about a week, but after the first jab I was bedridden for a whole day the day after the jab. This time it just comes and goes, most of which is fine, it's the nausea that I have a problem with.
Sounds like a result! Just make sure not to break #3 while trying to find the fault with #2...rubber_jonnie wrote: 27 May 2021 11:31 BTW, can I get a BooBip. The new machine rolled up just now and I seem to have got a nice one. It's in nice condition, makes a BooBip on boot, ctrl+break resets, so it looks like I have my reference machine :)
I already have one, a TurboSpi MMC adapter, so we'll see how that goes too.JezC wrote: 27 May 2021 11:39Sounds like a result!

This will also raise the possibility of you looking at all the modern upgrades for the Beeb(s)...where will it end? :lol: :hide:
I'm way out of touch with the latest offerings for the Beeb, so I might have to catch up on those (at the risk of then getting my original one recapped & back up to working status)...must resist the urge... :zombie: :slapface:rubber_jonnie wrote: 27 May 2021 11:44 I already have one, a TurboSpi MMC adapter, so we'll see how that goes too.
You'd better not...or else! :chairsmack: :smackbum: :stickwhack:
