A Hardware Guide For
The BBC Microcomputer

This is a really interesting book containing. Here is a bit of the preface:

This Hardware Guide delves inside the computer to reveal some of the many modifications, upgrades and circuit changes that can be performed. Some modifications only require extra components to be inserted whilst others require careful work with a soldering iron on the main printed circuit board. For those who prefer only to peek inside the lid, photographs and circuit layouts have been provided to identify the various integrated circuits and work areas on the main board. Some handy tips, such as getting rid of that annoying buzz found on many computers, introduce the beginner to electronics stimulating his or her interest in both spheres of activity.

For the more advanced reader, system fault finding, further expansion and the inclusion of manufacturers data sheets and detailed descriptions of complex circuitry make this manual a necessary adjunct to the existing publications available.
