Taken in 1998, when I thought they were old even then. Name 'em and weep. The newest of the bunch was the Toshiba with a red plasma display. I'd upgraded the hard drive from a 3.5" full height 30MB unit to 100MB. It involved huge amounts of drilling and Cuba Libres. Serial number of the Beeb was 13. I installed a Solidisk floppy drive system in it, which didn't work initially, and as was quite typical in those days Solidisk spent the next few days on the phone to me as I looped ludicrous amounts of wire between pins until the the subsystem burst into life.
The Apricot was the one I really wanted to use, and was also the one least likely to actually work. So many ideas, such piss-poor implementation. Proprietary floppies, FFS.
