The 6502 Microcomputer Board was a 2nd board bought around 1980 (from Watford Electronics for a fiver, wish I'd bought more !), unfortunately I've misplaced the original 6502 CPU Board that was part of my System 1, I'm hoping it turns up sometime.
All fitted in an original Acorn System 2 Vero Card Frame with 14-slot Backplane
The keyboard was built from an ex-data entry keyboard, it uses an AY-5-2376 rather than the AY-3-4592 used in the Acorn ASCII Keyboard, perhaps I couldn't get hold of a 4592 at the time ? The trouble with the 2376 is that it needs -12V. I plan to build a new keyboard using the 'proper' 4592 and a spare BBC keyboard.
