Yes, working on this 20 year old Acorn reminded me of the fact (long forgotten) that for a good while back in the day a 2 year old computer was basically fit for the bin.

Not that I want to bin the Acorn... It's just when I'm coding on it I start work in an emulator on an M1 Mac, then move it to the real Acorn for optimisation. It's literally 100 - 1000x faster in emulation, and this was a quick machine for its time!
