G'Day all! Just thought I'd announce myself. I've been scouting through the
archives picking up lots of information.
I started my interest in computing by using the high-schools BBC Micros,
and although I'm very rusty, this site has brought back a lot of memories.
I've just picked up a BBC Micro from eBay, waiting for it to be delievred.
They are extremely rare down here nowdays (Australia), so when I saw it
up for auction, I grabbed it. Unfortunately, the auctioneer didn't get back
to me with a serial #, so I'm not sure yet if it's a model A or B (hoping
it is a B as the model As were few and far between when they were out). Also
hoping for a DFS ROM installed so I can attach a disk drive (been reading
through the archives on this - excellent stuff!).
Anyways, thanks for the read, I'm sure I'll be asking a few questions in
the near future!
Cheers.
Steve.
