BBC Model B

Click here to view the history of the BBC Model B.

I was given this BBC Model B in 2000, following a clear-out by my old sixth form college. This machine would have been used either in the Maths department, Science department or as part of the internal PANDORA network, and as a result of this the machine has an Econet interface fitted. It has an issue 4 motherboard, making it one of the earlier BBC Model B machines to be produced. Oh yes, and it has a Teletext ROM installed. (If anyone has one of the old Teletext adaptors and is thinking of selling it, please get in touch with me.) That's about all I know about it.
