The Domesday System
The Domesday System
This picture shows my own Domesday Machine, in its 25th anniversary incarnation, 25th November 2011.
The Domesday System was made up of the following component parts:
| BBC Master AIV, a specially upgraded version of the BBC Master 128, fitted with internal 65C102 co-processor, Acorn SCSI Interface and Videodisc Filing System ROM |
| Philips VP415 laserdisc player, an enhancement of the existing VP410 LaserVision Disc Drive, with an added layer at the bottom called the "Domesday Sandwich", containing video-mixing and Genlock circuitry and SCSI Interface |
| Acorn Trackerball |
| High Resolution Colour Monitor |
| Laserdisc Player Remote Control |
| The Domesday Laser Discs |
| SCART cable to connect the Laserdisc player to the monitor |
| RGB lead to connect the BBC to the Laserdisc player |
| 50-way ribbon cable to connect the BBC SCSI Interface to the Laserdisc player |
| The manuals |
My own Domesday Machine is made up of original component parts, gradually adding more bits as I have got hold of them. It has gone through a number of incarnations over the last decade and you can see much more about my Domesday Machine and its component parts in my section on BeebMaster's Domesday Machine.
