Hi, Maple.

At this precise moment, I'm dialed in on an Acorn A3020 - ARM 250, 2MB RAM. Using terminal software I made / am still working on for the job as I didn't like the existing stuff I could get up and running :)

Same - I bought a few since they're so cheap. Lucky, really, as I blew the first ESP up (grounded pins while in use) and one of the MAX232s died on me, so spares came in handy!
