Have you ever tried typing in a BBC BASIC listing from a book or magazine, only to find that despite your very best efforts, it refuses to run? Then this is the video for you! Join me as I explore the inner workings of the BBC Micro and its 32k of memory. I will explore the concepts of PAGE, TOP, LOMEM and HIMEM to unravel how memory is managed by the Beeb - and the tips and tricks you can use to override this behaviour to squeeze every last morsel of memory out of the machine, thereby ensuring you memory-hungry programs are still able to run!
