Thanks for that, I was trying to establish whether an 80186 cheese wedge
was officially released.
I think I have claimed somewhere on my website that there was one, so it
will need amending!
Best wishes,
Ian

You could use the Watford Co-Processor Box to house the BBC Master Turbo or
BBC Master 80186 Co-Processor connected to a BBC Micro (must have 1770
Controller Upgrade and ADFS fitted).
Before I could afford a Master 128 in the 80's this is how I connected a
Turbo & 80186 Co-Pro to my Beeb, which replaced the 2nd Processor Wedge.
Later I purchased a Master 128, and the Watford Co-Pro box, allowed me to
connect the Turbo board externally, while I fitted the 80186 internally.
Regards
Andrew

Does anybody know if there was a cheese-wedge version of the 80186 second
processor used in the
Master 512? For some reason I thought there was but I don't recall seeing
one and I can't remember
anybody ever talking about a "BBC Model B 512" as might be expected if there
was one (although
having said that, I don't suppose we ever call the BBC B + 6502 cheese wedge
a "BBC B Turbo" do
we!??)
Best wishes,
Ian
