I had a BBC micro when I was little

* 2 MHz MOS Technology 6502A processor (6512A in model B+)

* 32 KB ROM (48 KB in model B+ due to the presence by default of the WD1770 disk filing system 16 KB "DFS" ROM) + (16 KB MOS (Machine Operating System), 16 KB read-only paged space defaulting to the BBC BASIC ROM)

* 32 KB RAM (16 KB in model A, 64 KB in model B+)

* Full-travel keyboard with a top row of ten red-orange function keys f0 - f9

* Highly configurable graphics display based on the Motorola 6845 CRTC. Eight graphics modes were provided by the system ROM:

* Modes 0 to 6 could display a choice of colours from a logical palette of sixteen, though only eight colours were available; the eight basic RGB colours (0-black, 1-red, 2-green, 3-yellow, 4-blue, 5-magenta, 6-cyan, 7-white) and eight colours in a flashing state, (8-black/white, 9-red/cyan, 10-green/magenta, 11-yellow/blue, 12-blue/yellow, 13-magenta/green, 14-cyan/red, 15-white/black)

* Mode 7's Teletext capability was provided by a Mullard SAA5050 Teletext chip:

* Four independent sound channels (one noise and 3 melodic) using the Texas Instruments SN76489 sound chip

* Built-in hardware support included:

* Sideways (paged) 8K or 16K ROMs (of which the BBC BASIC ROM was the only one supplied by default): up to 16 were supported by the OS but only 4 by the standard hardware. Add-on boards were made by a variety of companies to allow use of the full 16.

* Tape interface (with a relay operated motor control), using a variation of the Kansas City standard data encoding scheme running at 1200 or 300 baud

* Centronics parallel printer (model B only)

* Serial communication (using RS-423, a superset of RS-232)

* Display output for TV, RGB or 1v p-p video monitor, colour or monochrome (link S38)

* A DB15 pin with four 12 bit analogue inputs (suitable for two joysticks), two inputs suitable for pushbuttons and an input for a light pen

* Proprietary "Tube" interface for external second CPU (options included a 3 MHz extra 6502, a Zilog Z80 for e.g. CP/M, an NS32016, an ARM1, and others)

* A 16 pin IDC style "user port" (not in model A, by default) with 8 general purpose digital I/O pins and two special/trigger sensitive digital pins

* generic expansion through the "1 MHz bus"

* Use of floppy disc drives required the installation of a DFS ROM (disk filing system) and a disk controller card based on the Intel 8271 chip (later, and on the model B+ (as standard), the WD1770 AND WD1772)

* Via "The Tube" a second CPU could be attached (including a 3 MHz extra 6502, 4 MHz WDC65C102, a 4 MHz Zilog Z80 for e.g. CP/M, an NS32016, an ARM1, and others)

* The default Model A/B motherboard could also be upgraded by adding the following components:

* "Econet" large-scale low-cost networking system - around 100 Kbit/s using the Motorola 6854 - standard on US model

* Serial ROM cartridge filing system via a slot to the left of the keyboard - usually fitted as part of the Speech Upgrade

* Speech synthesis hardware based around the Texas Instruments TMS5220 - standard on US model. (Very few people bothered with this upgrade - the synthesiser was rather limited, and some games programmers succeeded in producing more versatile software speech synthesis using only the standard sound hardware)

* Reset Button (It is doubtful if anyone ever added this, as a complete hardware reset can be accomplished by pressing BREAK on the keyboard at any time, even if the machine has crashed.)
