Interesting - I didn't realise Acorn shipped them with the colour board
already fitted; I always thought they were always added afterwards by
people wanting the upgrade.

It'd be interesting to have one shot up on the web somewhere just to
show they existed like that, assuming there isn't one already. I know
8bs has a pic of the fitted colour board already (but the corresponding
shell is just standard).

I'm still keeping an eye out for a colour board; they don't seem at all
common. Not sure why - maybe they came too late and the BBC was just
around the corner?

I wonder if I could fit a BBC BASIC board, Econet board, disk drive and
Colour Card all to the same Atom? :)

cheers

Jules
