If you can stand the video format, this one is unusually rewarding for being a youtube channel: [LINK] I started with this one: [this video] "My old BBC Micro system" ... which kind of established his credibilities in my mind, and then I just kept going, devouring his entire channel. Recommended - this guy knows his stuff, and unlike certain other youtube channels in this genre there is no annoying bravado.
