Subject: Interesting DRAM catalogue

L.S.

I've just got my hands on an interesting DRAM electronics ltd. catalogue 
which lists all the components they supplied for the BBC micro, 2nd 
processors , etc. Also some other machines.

Under BBC it lists:
  - Keytop set 'Comtec'   gbp 20.83 (retail excl. VAT)
  - Spacebar (Comtec)     gbp 0.66
  - Keyswitch (Futaba)    gbp 0.83
  - Wire space bar BBC        0.16
  - Support space bar         0.16
  - Space bar PED             0.83
  - Keytop set PED           13.75
  - Keyswitch PED             0.83
  - Holder sapce bad support  0.50
  - Keyswitch SMK             0.60
  - Wire space bar SMK        0.23
  - Space bar SMK             1.05
  - Keytop set SMK           20.65
  - Keyswitch SMK             0.83
  - Keyswitch Wongs/SMK       0.83

(Note: Wong made the Hong Kong version of the BBC micro)

Maybe I can now rename the keyboards from type 1 ... type 4 (possibly 
type 5 for the US/Hong kong version different from type 1, will have to 
recheck) into something more useful :)

I've not seen a list of all components available for the BBC and 
peripherals anywhere, so I suppose this is pretty interesting to put on 
the web, right?
