Interesting that the Acorns should come up at this time, I am in the
process of uplading my website based around Home Automation using the
Acorn computers.

I do ask on the site, but I feel I should ask here also, does anyone
here have any programming experience with the ports on the Acorn A3010?

Should be online tonight, http://www.webferrit.co.uk - if you
