Hardware and Emulation
Although Acorn no longer exists and BBC Microcomputers are no longer made, there are still lots of them being sold second hand.
WARNING: If you have a BBC, it may need it's power supply capacitors replacing.
The original capacitors are known to fail and it is recommended that they are replaced if they haven't already been done.
There are lots of instructions online on how to look after a BBC.
