In anyone's interested I have a complete unused Raspberry Pi set up to
clear out for a bargain price.
Includes:
- a BNIB circuit board,
- a protective (transparent perspex) box,
- USB psu and cable,
- 8GB SD card (I think I loaded Debian onto it in preparation for
playing with it (which never happened) but it wouldn't be the latest
version now anyway),
- BNIB Belkin wifi dongle,
- BNIB mini wireless keyboard with touch-mouse incorporated
Let me know off-list,
cheers
