Interesting. Do you remember if it was the same Laserdisc player (in terms 
of appearance) that Domesday used?

There did exist an Acorn "AVC128" interactive video system which used a 
Master (not sure if Turbo or not) against a VP831 player - I suspect that 
was serial-controlled and lacked all the SCSI guts of the Domesday setup, 
so it's possible you have part of one of those.

Anything from the interactive laserdisc days is pretty rare, I always think 
- but I'm not sure that equates to valuable, particularly for an incomplete 
system!

cheers
