	BBC BASIC - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		BBC BASIC was developed in 1981 as a native programming language for the MOS Technology 6502 based Acorn BBC Micro home/personal computer, mainly by Roger Wilson.
		BASIC III, the release supplied with the BBC B+, was produced in both a UK version and a U.S. market version for Acorn's abortive attempt to enter the cross Atlantic computer market.
		A Zilog Z80-version of BBC BASIC was later used on the Tiki 100 desktop computer, Cambridge Z88 portable and the Amstrad NC100 Notepad and Amstrad NC200 Notebook computers.

	BBC Micro - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The project was initiated largely in response to an extremely influential BBC documentary The Mighty Micro, in which Dr. Christopher Evans from the UK National Physical Laboratory predicted the coming (micro)computer revolution and its impact on the economy, industry and lifestyle of the United Kingdom.
		The BBC discussed the issue with Sir Clive Sinclair, who tried to offer the unsuccessful Grundy NewBrain micro to them, but it came nowhere near the specification the BBC had drawn up, and was rejected.
		A cut-down version of the BBC Micro, intended more for game playing was the Acorn Electron (1983); games were written specially for the Electron's more limited hardware, but they could usually also be run on the BBC.

		The BBC Model B followed on from the Acorn Atom, and was widely adopted in the UK education market, though a cut-down home computer version, the Electron, was not a success.
		The BBC B was followed by an upgraded version, the BBC Master, and replaced by the Acorn Archimedes.
		Its immediate successor, the BBC Master, also sold well to schools, but was too expensive for home use and unsuccessful in the business market.

		Although the Master had a certain degree of compatibility with the older models, there were still some problems running older programs.

		The Master was initially launched as four different models: 128, 512, ET and Turbo.
		The Master had two cartridge slots, built in floppy drive controller, Advanced DFS (ADFS), DFS (with 1770 drive controller), VIEW word processor, BBC BASIC IV, bigger keyboard (with keypad), and was based on the newer 65C12 processor.
		The Compact was the first BBC not to have the interface for the cassette filing system (and issuing a *TAPE was ignored).

		BBC Domesday was fantasically innovative and it was organised on a scale which has not been seen since.
		BBC Domesday was produced by a collaboration between the BBC, Acorn, Philips and Logica.
		The BBC Master was an 8 bit computer which saw great popularity along with the "BBC Model B" thoughout education in the UK and Australia in the mid 1980s.

	The next generation - The BBC Master series (1986)
		The BBC Master 128 was released in January 1986, as a replacement for the highly successful BBC Micro range.
		The BBC Master was based on the 8-bit 65C02 processor, a later revision of the 6502A used in the earlier Acorn systems, and was provided with four times the memory, 128 Kb.
		The Master Compact (released in September 1986) was a standard BBC Master 128 fitted in to a three-box case along the same lines as the later Archimedes, with an integral 3.5" disc drive and lacking some of the interfaces (although an add-on was available which provided some of the missing interfaces).

		BBC Model A / B / B+ The Acorn BBC model A was the successor of the Acorn Atom and its first name was Acorn Proton.
		Acorn's range of 8-bit machines include the Atom (on the picture), the BBC models A, B and B+, the Electron, the BBC Master and the Master Compact.
		The Acorn BBC Micro came into being when Acorn won the contract from the BBC to produce a home computer that the BBC could use to promote technology and computing at home, school and in the work place.

	The BBC lives! -- Introduction & History
		The BBC had serious discussions with Clive Sinclair (or Sir Clive), who tried to peddle the terrible "NewBrain" micro to them, but it came nowhere near the specification the BBC had drawn up, and was rejected.
		The BBC was often seen on BBC television programmes such as The Adventure Game, Tomorrow's World, Beat the Teacher, Doctor Who (where it provided many graphics and even special effects) and on countless educational programmes during the 1980s.
		The Masters also had to fight the threat of the steadily cheaper Atari ST. It was obvious that very few commercial applications took advantage of the extra features and power of the Masters.

		BBC Domesday was created to celebrate the 900th anniversary of the Domesday book of 1086, the original record of William the Conqueror's survey of England.[3]
		The BBC put together a team of around sixty staff to develop the project and recruited pupils from over half the schools in the country to help produce the content.
		The next step was to develop software that emulates the adapted BBC Master computer and the laserdisc player on which the original BBC Domesday system ran.

		An upgrade to the BBC Master series which I couldn't really see the point in at the time of release - I think it cost about the same as a regular BBC Master but had the incompatible 3.5'' ADFS floppy drive.
		This disc type and the keyboard being separate from the base unit, plus the early stab at a desktop system on the Welcome disc, speaks to me of an early indication of the way things would go with the Archimedes A300 and 400 series.
		I had thought that it wasn't going to turn up, but it was just the previous owner trying to find me a backup of the welcome disk which was well worth having.

		The BBC Master was an enhanced version of the BBC Model B providing improved features, but sadly also introducing compatibility problems with earlier BBC systems.
		The BBC Master, and Master Compact could considered the most accomplished 8-bit 'home' computers and among the last mass produced 8-bit machines.
		While developing and marketing the BBC Master, Acorn realized the PC world was moving on from 8-bit to 16-bit processors and started developing their own 32-bit chip, the Acorn RISC Machine, or ARM.

		The only reason it worked at all is that the Master Series machines came with shadow video RAM as standard, meaning I could switch the screen into shadow mode and grab another 20 k of RAM for all my code.

		I'm note sure they were used much, as the BBC range was already much more advanced than the Electron and so not quite so reliant on third party upgrades, certainly not ones that plugged in to cartridge slots anyway.
		The casing to the drives is metal, more than strong enough to handle the monitor I've added to the setup since they're in a convenient side-by-side configuration rather than the up-down style I was used to at school/college.
		Maybe the guy at the car boot got the last laugh - the keyboard's a bit shagged so I can't play Elite on it properly, and I specifically bought a "new" version of BBC disc Elite to get the Master version (second hand for a fiver at a Wakefield show).
