It's rather scary though, given the 20 or so that came out of a skip at the 
uni last year... 2 grand's worth of cheese wedges...

Ahh, I've got one of the IEEE-488 wedges somewhere. Not very common critters 
at all, those. Presumably any given lab would only have one or two of them 
(and commercial labs seemed to favour the non-Acorn ones for some reason)

Yep, with the memory expansion too! (actually, that's not rare - more rare 
seem to be ones that *don't* have it ;)

Actually, I could use a recommendation like that too - I've never done any ARM 
assembly before, so it'd be interesting to take a look at.
