Thanks for the e-mail...  

 I seem to have a few problems though..

That sounds good to me...

No...not got that....just the unit on it's own.

I shall have to check but I'm not sure there is a TUBE ROM in the 
beeb - I don't think the two were together in the first place.  The 
stuff was part of a load of  BBCs recently sold off by a local 
college.  

It seems that the 2nd processor will be pretty useless without the 
ROM and disc (possibly make a nice doorstop).

Thanks for the help anyway!

Bye,
