Yes the electron has a motor relay just like the BBC.

I take it you never wrote...

10*MOTOR 1
20*MOTOR 0
30GOTO10

It makes an 'orrible sound.

One of my first hardware things I did was to wire a 6V battery and bike 
headlight across the cassette relay and then wrote a program to flash it 
on and off in morse code.

Then I wired up a light dependant resister across the joystick port on 
my plus1 and used that electron to read the morse code and show it on 
the screen.

I wonder if I still have the tape with the program on ?

Cheers
