I have a box of original BBC games on tape which I am happy to sell
off at reasonable rates and with all money donated to charity*. The
trouble is I don't have time to check what condition they're in, but
would be happy to return the cost of the tape less standard postage
in the event that they don't work. If anyone's interested, I'll
venture into the loft and dig them out.

I've also got some assorted odds and ends of hardware (can make a
list if anyone's interested), but postage costs will probably reduce
their attractiveness. Amongst the more interesting items are a unit
to burn programs into EPROMs (no software or documentation) and a
sideways RAM board.

All the items were donated to a local special school which is now in
the process of converting its IT to PCs and has no further need of
BBCs (shame). As a result, I have no desire to benefit from their sale
financially.

Dave.

*The charity is HCPT, which takes groups of kids with disabilities
to Lourdes to a week each Easter. It's a fun holiday for kids of any
denomination and a break for their families, and definitely *not* a
heavy religious miracle-cure-seeking Catholic expedition, for those
who might be nervous about it!
