Hi folks,
My temporary custodianship of possibly the last Acorn Business Computer is
ending today since I'm taking it and a spare case down to Jules R. for him
to fix up and get running. There's a bit of info on the web page which is:
http://www.binarydinosaurs.co.uk/Museum/Acorn/acws.htm
D'oh! That link doesn't work... and I still haven't actually seen any
pics of the machine :-)
btw, spare case will be looking for a home in case anyone wants to bodge
together their own ACW/ABC. Just give me a while as I believe the
previous owner of the machine said that the spare case has a screen in
it which is in much better condition than the ABC 210's, so I'll probs
swap them over.
Of course I need to try and get the 210 running first - either
something's up with the 286 copro (which is likely fixable) or there's
something nasty going on with the ROMs on the B+ side (which is going to
be more tricky, given that it's perhaps the last of its kind...)
Hopefully I'll see some of the UK classiccmpers at
the CGE-UK next weekend?
Actually, if you can get the 210 to me this week and I can get it
running then I can bring it along to the CGE show. I'll be there on the
Saturday for sure, not sure about the Sunday yet.
Having said that, the car's already totally full of stuff for the
stand... hmm...
btw, you were looking for an Atari 800 weren't you? Think I've found one
that's looking for a good home. Watch this space.
