I can't -- Acorn were pretty much the Kings of "Not Invented Here." 
Well, the Kings of the Cambridge Chapter at least.

I do, however, still lament the passing of the RISC PC's expandable 
case. That was one 'design hit', even if the quad-slot backplanes were 
giant piles of unstable, sitting-on-the-edge-of-setup-and-hold-timing, crap.
