Hi!

I've not used my Acorn computer for over 10 years, and during a clear
out
I found my trusty old A3010!
I still have a lot of software for it, and wanted to get away from
floppy discs.

Can anyone tell me where I can get a hard drive for this machine, or
does anyone here have one for sale?
I have looked on ebay, and was surprised there was nothing there!

The machine is running RISC OS 3.11 and has 2MB of RAM, there have
been no other upgrades fitted.


Thanks All,
Keith.

(either the HCCS, ICS, or the 8-bit Simtec)

There's a couple places with interfaces that will work.

Many Thanks Eric,
They seemed to have retained their value over the years! I was
expecting about half that!!

Have to see if Father Christmas will come early.....


Thanks,
Keith
