Subject: BBC B with a black power cable
Hi,
I've just won a BBC micro on eBay that has a black power cable. Does this
signify an early Model B (or even a Model A)? It hasn't arrived yet so I
can't test the machine out and look for tell-tale signs, but it also appears
that the square ROM socket on the left hand side of the machine isn't there
(unless it's taped over).
The auction number was: 8733129187 if you want to take a look.
Aaron
