Summary
- The EuroBEEB was a BBC Micro computer on a European ‘Eurocard’ format, produced by Control Universal for industrial and commercial use.
- Based on the 6502 CPU, it was a capable 8-bit platform with digital I/O and expandability, used for a variety of applications in the 1980s.
- Steve Crozier has reverse engineered the EuroBEEB and offers a PCB for those who want to reconstruct this machine.
- His article points out that 8-bit CPUs like the 6502 were widespread in industry, and that the limits of such systems are often overlooked.
- Crozier’s PCBs can be bought on his website, and his work restores understanding of this 1980s computing platform.
