Hi Just a note on the Starmill version of the software above. I tried this and even though it is made by NEE for the SMCU control board for some reason it would not connect even though the cable etc was set up right, I have a sneaky suspicion it was looking for a dongle or there was a driver missing...

BBC Stuff I use beeb em https://www.mkw.me.uk/beebem/BeebEm411.exe as it can emulate a master which is what I have. Use Xfer https://www.g7jjf.com/progs/xfer51a.zip to transfer from BBC with 5.25 disk to a PC OR Use Omnidisk https://www.shlock.co.uk/Utils/OmniDisk.zip on a PC with a 5.2 This gets th...

google Omni flop should do it but you need a 5.25 to write the disk. Haven't tried it yet though

Mr magoo I will swap you one rom and 2 software discs for the NEE SMCU manual :wink: I don't think it's the ATC for 2 reasons 1) the manual I have says if you don't have the ATC then enter tool 1 if you dont have the ATC then enter tool 0. 2) the extracts of the SMCU manual you have posted on the fo...

Hi Admin

Yep I posted that along with the starmill manual, but none of those have any trouble shooting or error lists so I can understand the problem. What I need is the technical manuals that your engineers would have had way back in the day.

Hi I have a Starmill and wondered what the TPI would be on the screws. I have looked at the manual I have and it does not give the TPI for the screws, it does however give details on the ballnut. My digging on google came up blank could anyone tell me what the following descriptions of the ball nuts...

I have just had a thought It might also be because the BBC Software from Phil was for a ATC starmill and mine does not have an ATC.

Any thoughts?

Dear all I think I am on the home strait with regard to getting my Starmill to work on the BBC. I now have the software (thanks to Phil for his Kind Loan) I also have the EPROM (thanks to Denfords Mr Bishop back in 2002). I have copied the disks and made images I will post those with instructions on...

Hi All

Here is a scanned copy of the software and maintenance manual for my Starmill pictured below. It is for the BBC version running off an RS232 lead.
