Well, someone else has offered to copy Disc 1 for me. I've also found a
few other people who have ARM Evaluation Systems, so once I get a good Disc
1, I'll put the set of six on my website (and if anyone from any of the
Beeb sites wants to make a copy, that's fine by me). Any suggestions as to
format to use for the images?

I've also just been told that the production run of ARM (not ARM2) chips
was 2000. I know some were used in-house for other types of development
system (like the A500) and more were used for Springboard (an ISA card, the
PC equivalent of the ARM Development System), so 50 or 100 seem likely
numbers for the quantity of ARM Development Kits made to fit Beebs.
