Subject: two beebs
Looking further into Jules's pile I find:
- one issue 3 machine fitted with an 8271 and Watford DFS, no econet.
Externally it's in pretty good condition but functionally it isn't quite
so hot: I did get it to boot up to the BASIC prompt once, but the screen
didn't sync properly and it crashed immediately afterwards. I think the
issue 3s are relatively uncommon so it might be worth repairing for the
rarity value.
- one issue 7 machine, apparently fitted with both disk (8271) and
econet, but without ROMs for either. This one does seem to be
functionally OK in as much as it booted to the BASIC prompt and I could
type at it.
Anybody care to offer either of these two a home? Collection (from just
outside Cambridge) preferred but I can post them at cost.
