DataCentre-E for the BBC Micro Computer: Unboxing, Setup & Usage

This is Retroclinic's DataCentre-E, produced in 2009. It features 16 Bit IDE, two USB ports and RAM Disc. This video contains unboxing, setup and basic usage examples with the BBC Master 128.

I bought this for my BBC in 2010.
There was also a cheaper internal kit option available, but I preferred the neater and hassle free external kit which can also be connected to another BBC easily.
The main unit was inside an antistatic bag, but I've used that for something else.

It's been some time since I last used this, so I found out that the rubber thingies (whatever they're called) have melted when I tried to take it out of the box. Now I'll need to find out where such things are sold.

Videos may be becoming a drag, but I was quite happy when making this one, because it was an excuse to use the BBC again... Until it was time to go through some days of editing hell that is.
Anyway, I hope you like it.
