Damn! I sold one on eBay a few years ago. The software was on tape,
and I'd never plugged it in to test it (I'd been told it didn't work).
I got about ?30, I think.

I'm sure I made a disk image of the software in case something
happened to the disk. I can try and find it if you'd like (I'm
assuming you would :-) ) I also have the complete manual, I think.

In the way of BBC control stuff, I also have two Deltronics Control
Boxes (both different) and two different bits of software to drive
them. Identical-looking boxes are still listed on Deltronics' website!

(I say "I have" - I found this stuff hiding in the school that I work
in. I'm claiming it for my own, like the Sony Betamax camera and the
three Yamaha MSXes).
