Could go down the local schools and see if they have any hanging about they might wanna get rid of.

They were used in schools before your time haha!

They were already on borrowed time when Windows 3.1 was around, it had mega things like Encarta and Word on it which just made them look erm poo. They eventually phased them out with the advent of Windows 95/Encarta 95 in most schools.

You still after the Master 128? I have one (actually a Master 256 and it has a co-processor extension box). I KNOW there is one in the loft. Backup batteries will be goosed of course but I'm sure you could sort that.
