Subject: SSDs for Beebs

I've got two of these, I was a great fan of PMS, and also purchased two
Genie systems, and realtime clock modules for the Beeb as well.

Not used the Genie's in years, but powered them up a few months ago, and the
data was still there! After a very long time, last time powered up was circa
1989! I was quite impressed.

Don't forget that PMS made a SSD for the beeb waaay back in the day - with 
a colossal 64KB of capacity. (I had one - but I don't recall if I still do; 
if so it's tucked away in overseas storage)

There's some mention of it here:
