That is so awesome! The digital tuner is extremely useful. I think the only thing I wish I could do with it is bung in the tuning hex code instead of seeking or loading from disk. But that is a minor niggle and it works really well :)

Also, that may be your sole contribution, but I suspect that work is the majority of the diff from Acorn's ATS. That and switching the I/O to I2C via the user port.

I like what they have done with the NEXT, but unfortunately I have no nostalgia for ZX Spectrums, I grew up in a BBC Micro household. I do have a +2 in my collection here, but I rarely use it.

From what I have been told, one of the other services supported by the software I used has Bamboozle still, but I haven't tried the others myself yet.

Fastext is basically the four coloured buttons that are basically shortcuts to pages. It isn't related to page caching.

You can use f-keys for the coloured buttons on the BBC Micro too :)

The Sony used in this blog page caches everything. The Morley connected to the BBC does not cache.

I got to say, having using Teletext again when writing that blog post, I do actually prefer consuming my news that way. That surprised me.

I should have maybe clarified that it was killed off here in the UK, I will amend it.

It does, the first part of my post shows this on the TV. But for the BBC Micro I'd need to physically hack the Morley quite a bit to take composite input. I also have an Acorn Teletext Adapter, this can easily take composite instead of RF via a jumper.

The modern version (W65C02S) is not 100% pin compatible. It would be very obvious very quickly if that had been done. There isn't another modern equivalent with the same pinout that I'm aware of. Yes, there are many original 6502s around, and they are probably worth half of an R65C02, or even less.

Oh, absolutely, but it is usually way more expensive than buying a load of chips in the chance you'll get a genuine one. I work on a project called PiStorm that replaces the 68000 series of CPUs using a small FPGA for bus translation and a Raspberry Pi.

Lol! I had to send it back to China to get my money back

Well now I'm just hungry! :)

I once ordered a large batch of 64pin DIP sockets from a Chinese site and received a piece of ladies' undergarment instead. It took a long time to get my money back from that transaction.
