Things are tough right now ...

They're tough for everyone :( But when coronavirus hit here in the UK, the museum had to close its doors to the public, and we lost practically all our income overnight.

No visitors, no workshops, no events, no school visits... no income. We know that things are tough for everyone right now, but if you can afford to help us through these tough times please donate what you can.

There's over 36,000 exhibits here! That should keep you occupied for a bit - get searching!

Or come and get involved on our social media channels ...

Thank you.

Acorn ARM Evaluation System

The Acorn ARM Evaluation System for the BBC Micro was one of the first production RISC processors. The ARM Evaluation System was part of the development programme leading to the Acorn Archimedes and its early Arthur operating system.

The system was supplied in the standard BBC "cheese wedge" case and connects to the BBC Micro via the TUBE connector port on the base of the BBC.

Our unit has the additional 2Mb Memory Expansion card fitted. (0148,001)
