Acorn A5000

Acorn A5000 Very dirty. And Rusty. After cleaning with acetic acid & IPA Disk drive flashes with a fault code:  00010059   Simulate &00010059 CMOS unreadable PC-style IO world detected ARM 3 fitted/ARM ID read and not ARM2 Long memory test performed Self-test due to power-on So some work needed around the CMOS. UPDATE: 2018-09-23 Fixed the corroded CMOS tracks It Lives! Sorted the rust & painted (Needs lettering) Almost the right grey, but shows up the disk drive :-o
