Ah, now I understand, thanks for answering the idiot i.e. Me :-)

Nope, I missed that, I've gone back and looked at the original 
GuessWhatThisIs.jpg and there it is on the far right Doh!

My RiscPC has been pushed to one side since I tend to use my Pi to run 
RiscOS now, I still find !Draw to be the easiest way of knocking up a 
quick drawing/diagram.

It's a shame my RiscPC is currently in the loft as is a lovely machine 
especially after I added a Viewfinder to it, that was my main machine 
for many years.

One day I'll get them all setup again and networked together, anyway if 
I order your 2nd Processor I'll have to get them out :-D
