Computers

Computers includes descriptions and photographs of all the computers I own. I have examples of almost all of the computers Acorn sold and most that they made. Almost all of them are in (more or less) working condition and many of them have been restored to an approximation of their original condition.

A thank you to people who have given me Hardware, software, documentation or information used to better Chris's Acorns

Wanted

This section list items I want to add to my collection. If you have any of these items and want them to go to a good home, please get in touch.

It is relatively easy to pick new upgrades from ebay or show charity stalls. But finding the documentation and software that originally shipped with it is much harder. Once you have installed the podule and configurured it, the installation instructions and the support disc get put "somewhere safe" even if you need to keep the User Guide to hand for a while. If you have unwanted installation instructions, user guides or support discs please contact me because I want them. You can tell if I already have them because they are will be listed under Software or Documents.
