My Torch is housed in a grey metal case about the same footprint as a PC
but
half the height.  Both the Beeb board and the Z80 board are inside this.
 It
also has space for about 6 sideways ROMS.  The dual drives are separate,
Acorn/BBC Micro badged.  It has a separate keyboard, also in a metal
case!
 
>What manuals / floppies did you get with it? 

One system disk came with it, labelled version 1.8.  Two manuals, a User
Guide and a System Guide.  I managed to get the Programmers' Guide plus
the
Z80 disk and manual for BBC Basic from Chris Richardson's site.

Regards,

Martin.
