Acorn BBC Master Compact
Acorn · 1986
The Master unbundled into three boxes — keyboard, monitor, drive — and aimed at the home rather than the classroom. Cheaper than a Master 128 and with a 3.5-inch drive when the rest of the platform was still on 5.25, which makes it the odd one out in the family and the awkward one to find media for. The least common Master, and the last BBC-badged machine Acorn made.
