At the end of the brown corridor you pass through a doorway into a warehouse. Items are crated and stacked in carefully ordered piles around the room and meticulously neat labels are stuck on every crate.

Every so often a quiet hum betrays the movement of a cargo 'bot as it shifts some nameless piece of equipment to an unknown destination. Further down the main aisle between the crates a supervisor 'bot is overseeing a team of three cargo 'bots moving a particularly large item.

Noticing you it rolls over and comes to a gentle stop in front of you. Examining you for a moment with it's cool black sensor eye it then speaks with the tone of someone frequently exasperated, "I suppose you are here to look at some of the stored material, just after I got it all packed too."

It hands you a pad. "Well come on then, lets hear it. What do you want?"

Text files and other errata

• The ARM Chip list
  A brief introdution to the various ARM chip 'families' about and their capabilities. I expect this will be superceeded by a list put out by ARM Ltd themselves.
  
  
• The Acorn Machine List
  Updated as and when Acorn release a new machine.
  
  
• Ford Ka Heater Control Valve Repair
  A pictorial guide to replacing the heater control valve on a Ford Ka. Many textual guides exist but no one it seems has thought to document the process with images. I figured I may as well and hopefully this will be of use to some other Ford Ka owner in the future.
  
  
• Ford Ka Headlight Repair
  A pictorial guide to removing the headlight assembly of a 1999 model Ford Ka. In this case because the unit's seal had failed letting water into it.
  
  
• Tech Tidbits
  An infrequently updated list of the more obscure technical issues I've had the frustration of solving. This is really designed to be a google resource so others don't have to go through the same process and headaches.
