BBC Micro Export edition: information drop

This video introduces the export model of the BBC Micro and describes the differences between the export and the standard BBC Model B.
Due to having a bit too much footage, I have decided to separate this technical discussion out from the refurb video, which will follow.

Excellent work! Very interesting. I’m in the states I wonder if I’ll ever see a USA Beeb appear on eBay? Meanwhile I’ll continue with my childhood uk one.

[@stephenwalters9891]

Didn't the USA version have the speech system as standard?

[@nigelsretroworkshop]

Yes, with an American accent. When they re-imported them the UK phrom was swapped in.

I remember typing something like * config lang 11 on one of those and it really buggered it up.

[@nigelsretroworkshop]

You're probably thinking of the BBC Master.

@@nigelsretroworkshopYes you're right, it was indeed. It was my lunchtimes and break times as a first year in high school sneaking into the computer lab that solidified my life long passion in computers. A couple of other things I used to use was `* remote 254`, `* prot ???` Sadly they expelled me before I could get to the third year (when we were allowed to use computers), something to do with making explosive compounds and improving my arch nemesis's test scores beyond the realm of possibility. I'm 49 now and I've spent around 150k hours totally enamored with computers. I just hope I'm not too old for the certainty of AI confinement escape. Thanks for the memories Nigel :)
