I have an Archimedes A540 (badged R260, but it has a third-party SCSI card
so won't boot RISC iX, only RISC OS) which I might be persuaded to part
with. Maybe.
Of course an Atom is also on the whish
list, but here I know they are not common as flies.
I'm still looking for the lower half of the case for mine.
P.S.: A nice (at least with manuals) GB QL would be
wellcome ... I have already a German, an Italian
and a Spanish Unit.
I have a faulty GB one -- looks fine, just doesn't boot (also needs work on
the keyboard membrane). All the socketed chips (ULAs, ROMs, processor etc)
are fine. You can have it for cost of shipping/postage. I don't think I
have a spare manual, though.
