Erm ... I could bring along a couple of obscure BBC Micro variants if you
want:

- Olivetti Prodest PC128S (Italian version of the Master Compact)
- OAK Mentor (effectively a BBC Master in a Desktop PC case)

And if you think there would be enough space to operate them (maybe in a
corner or something) I could take a few floor robots e.g. Jessops Turtle,
Valiant Turtle, Clwyd Technics Trakker ... but not the official BBC buggy,
unfortunately (don't have it).

Or are you looking for ideas from outside of the Acorn sphere? If so, I could
also lay my hands on a Pet, a Colour Genie I, Dragon w/ Disk Drives, Sam
Coupe, Vic 20s etc. Plus early consoles too if required.

It's possible that a few members of the Retro Software team might be
interested in having a table. In addition to several new BBC games we should
also be in a position to demonstrate two, maybe three new Arc games by then,
too (which I suppose would be of more interest to the majority of visitors).

How much is the fee to book a table?

Cheers
Dave.
