the display is the easy bit... if i could get my hands on a cub monitor, that would be sweet, but yea i have a multiformat monitor here that can do ntsc, pal and even secam LOL... worse comes to the worse, just grab an old rgb pal monitor from the UK... having 220 isnt a big deal either.

oh thems were the days..... when that trolley came out it was either the VCR or the beeb :D we were lucky in our school.. we had the turtle, and a bunch of the addon pods such as the teetext thng etc.

we also had the venerable 380Z/480Z computers in the comp and i ended up wrkiing there wiitht he "IT" teacher most of the last 2 years... evn wrote a school wide "bulletin board" slideshow software in mode 7 that looked just like ceefax :D even had the "900" pages for the techie stuff. that was my 4th/5th year project and it worked great.

 > Goodness me, you re-lived it and still want one :D

yup... I love the beeb... and yea... hcuckie egg... still my favorite game next to elite :D
