There were several: Watford, Solidisk, Opus, probably more.
I had the Opus system in my original Beeb, it was by far the best system
I used. The Beeb I have now used the Solidisk system and I'm not that
keen on it.
If anyone has the Opus system that they don't want/use, I'll gladly take
it off your hands.
