I loved my A310 at the time. I'm not so much of a hardware person though, and I'm not sure I can get it working in the US, despite the rush of nostalgia it would mean. Main issue would be getting a monitor going with it.

@chamaeleon thanks for sharing. It's getting very expensive getting most things for the Acorn A series of machines unfortunately. RISC OS was so good though for the time.
