       The main differences were the disc drive interfaces and the memory
       management.

       Both the B+ and Master had disc drive interface as standard and used
       a double density capable device.

No - we came accross a B+ without disc interface - the cute
thing on the B+ was the way the PCB was kind of partially designed
for both the 8271 and 177x

       The B+ had shadow ram, and a 12k block of sideways ram.

Some of the B+'s did have 128K - i.e. the extra 4 banks of sideways RAM
- the B+128K

       Facility for internal co-processor (And internal modem, I've never heard
       of one though!). What else... Oh, a CMOS 6502, that's quite a big

I think Beebug did a modem - what really killed it though is that
most masters have a battery pack for the CMOS RAM (to replace the ones
which used to catch fire occasionally.....)

       Hmmm, there's more differences than I thought! OS is much improved, and
       has neat extras like *EDIT (which is definately where it's at! Except
       pity it can't edit large files off disc....).

Thats a bit of an understatement - Edit/Terminal/View/ViewStore.
