The power/video/cassette cable arrived today along with a boot disk. Thanks again Ewan.
I can't wait to try it out.
Cheers,

After plugging in the power and video, along with the drive cable I fired up the Bee.
No signs of life unfortunately.
I'll start by measuring voltages and going from there. I can't see a power LED on the computer unit so I'm not sure if power is actually getting to it.
I'm assuming the video output is standard composite?
When I power up the drive unit by itself, I can hear a drive spin up.
If I power the drive unit with everything connected, I see the access LED light on the left drive.
I put in the boot disk and power cycled but I did not hear any boot type action from the drive. It sounds like the drive did seek though.
The drives are in unknown condition so I will also confirm they work on a PC. I assume they are PC style drives?
