Subject: Help!!

I have just dug my old BBC B out of the cupboard. (I resorted to using a
BBC after the crap I get from windows :D). 
However, it doesn't work!!!

It had a watford sideways ram interface and a vine micros replay :) but 
the pins on the watford were very bent and it didn't sit nicely in the case,
so I have removed it, apart from the switches at the back which need scewing
out. I have removed all the pin connections. 
However i have the problem that I have the main system roms sitting on top
of the case and I don't know where to put them. They were of course in the
watford board :D


I have 8524 HM6264LP-15 T00008010 *2
          Acorn 8417
          Acorn 8421
          NEC 8227k9 D7002C

I have slots free in the main ROM slots (next to the vine micros one) and 
I also have 2 free towards the middle left of the board near the power supply. 
I have the 'Advanced BBC Micro Reference Guide' however...my board looks
completely different to their printed layout at the back. It's ISSUE4, so
It could be the wrong issue :(

I also dug out my master which doesn't even bleep on startup :( I was hoping
to use my WE video digitiser :D 
But one problem at a time :S

Anyway, if anyone can help me or point me to a site where I can get information
it would help.
