[comp.sys.acorn] Wanted: BBC Basic PROM for an Atom

stuart@siesoft.co.uk (Stuart Hood) (06/14/91)

I have an old Acorn Atom and on which I should like to
run BBC basic.  I have heard that there is a PROM that
would allow me to do this;  albeit a limited version
thereof.

If there are no copyright problems (any comment Acorn?)
can anyone send me the data for such a PROM, saying which
PROM type is needed?  Otherwise,  does anyone know from
where I could buy one?

Thanks a lot in advance,

Stuart.

It's not only a PROM, it's a complete circuit board which sits on top of 
the processor and ROM (I think) in the Atom.
A friend of mine once blew up his Atom (by accidentally putting 220V on the
extension connector, the idiot), but maybe the BBC board is still intact.
It might be laying around somewhere.
