One, there's no challenge :)
And two, that board doesn't look to be too BBC Micro compatible. I've 
not read in-depth, but since it runs its own OS (as opposed to OS1.2) 
the phrase "Repton won't run on this" springs instantly to mind. Nice 
little device though.

Re: The advice on conglomerating parts: I'll be economising where 
possible, but I want to stick pretty close to the original circuit. Some 
parts will be eliminated, but the basics need to be present, 6502, 6845, 
6522 VIA-A, VIDPROC, RAM, SAA5050, sound chip, WD1770 + support 
componets (ideally).
