Alas, I never seen copies of the software for those, sounds like the sort
of thing Dave Moore might have secreted away somewhere?

Just having had a play with a communicator for a while it seems to perform 
just as well as a CP/M machine as the Acorn Z80. More free memory too. I 
guess it's what you're in for - cheese wedges just seem to be collectable 
full-stop. I don't think the people willing to pay silly money for them are
using them, I think they're sitting on them watching them appreciate in value
(that's just my opinion, mind).

Whilst I'm torching? Does anyone have a copy of the circuit diagram knocking
around? Doesn't seem to be lurking on any of the websites. It seems like
it would be very, very straight forward to FPGA - pretty much "off the shelf
parts"?
