It's terrifying! My BBC Buggy is still stashed in a box at work where
it's been since Byte Back.

I've got two. One's a tidy one that was given to me, boxed with
keyboard and mouse and boxed monitor, that's stored at work and I know
it all works because I replaced the hard drive and reinstalled it. The
other's an ex-school one that I was also given years ago, cosmetically
it's in horrendous condition but I don't actually know if it works.
And I can't quite remember where it is.
I've also got a couple of Master Econet interfaces, the ones I took to
Byte Back which I'd owned for 15 years but never had chance to install
in a machine due to never having an Econet. One works and one is
faulty. I can bring them along if anyone's desperate for more
networked machines, I could also bring an A3000 or A3020 to put one
in. The duff interface could possibly be repaired - it's an ADF10
interface, capacitor C2 is physically broken but I don't know what
type or value it's meant to be.
