   I dreamed my brother got a BBC Master System and I was helping him set it up (in our parent's garden) and I had to take away the (commodore 1581 for some reason) floppy drive because he didn't know how to use it and was gonna break it.

   We also couldn't figure out how to use the disk drive. We had a manual but it was useless and had incorrect indices.

   I've never used a BBC Master System. I don't know if it even had a floppy drive.

     @foone this all seems reasonable. I assume you do in fact have a brother.

     @foone Foone... did you cross a Sega Master System and a BBC Master?

     ... because now I want to see someone draw that pile of madness.

     Also yes, all the BBC Micros except the Model A had the option for a floppy disk drive, and it was the most common option :)

     yeah I meant "BBC Master", not "BBC Master System". I was thinking of Sega Master System.

     I've never used either of these systems. And I think, based on what I saw on the screen, the BBC Master was "played' by a ZX81.

     @flaxless I think I've already got the font extracted (for a keyboard project) so it wouldn't be hard
