Subject: BBC Micro / Electron hardware and software - Instant
Hi, all.
I have a large amount of hardware and software I have to pass on for
space reasons. Instant Beeb / Electron collection! Complete(ish) list
below for convenience below, but I'll try to keep an up to date
version available in a thread on the STH forum here:
http://www.stairwaytohell.com/sthforums/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=2193
Everything is untested, though I expect most of it to work.
I'm not so much bothered about making a large amount of money out of
them, so much as keeping them in the community i.e. seeing them end up
in a good home where they'll get converted to images or scans and
donated if they're not already available online.
After that, priority goes to anyone willing to take the hardware in
bulk and preferably not just resell it straight to eBay.
Collection available from Ipswich, or I'll be attending ByteBack, so
if someone wants to take it all there, I'm prepared to hire a car to
deliver it there as splitting it all up to mail is going to be a last
resort - if I end up doing that, it'll probably end up in eBay.
Donations to fund the packaging costs for the guys still developing
beeb software at Retro Software or a charity of your choice, would be
more than welcome.
Cheers,
Sam.
