Can I just note at this point my apologies for delaying over this - my wife 
is currently having a baby, of which updates are posted frequently to 
http://www.joel.co.uk/baby/ - which together with the hormonal nutterism 
has taken precedence over any work recently. Normal service will resume 
shortly ;)

ObBBC: I bought that weird-looking Beeb-in-a-box off eBay, with two 5.25" 
FDDs, 8271 DFS, an ATPL Sidewise board inside, a 6502 co-pro, and an 
external keyboard. It's not a Viglen case, and it's not a Solidisk case 
either, it looks like the machine was used in a college DT department or 
something and a custom case was built for it, because all the switch labels 
are machined enamel, etc. I'll get some photos soon - planning on fitting 
the Winchester in it which I've had lying around for ages.
