Any chance of a dump of the roms on the BBC board, the copy that seems 
to be available doesn't seem to work properly, and seems to come with a 
basic rom from the master :(

I did get BBC basic working on my clone, using a later ATOM-MOS rom and 
a copy of BBC basic from the B, but it would be cool to get the earlier 
version working too.

Cheers.

Phill.
