My Acorn BBC Master 512; that's a BBC Master with an added 80186 copro (which is the board in the middle).
Hmm first time I've had the top off in ages, I guess I should check it's batteries and PSU; there doesn't seem to be any crud around the batteries.
It's got a little board from CJE which I think lets you switch in the extra EPROM sockets vs extra RAM.

A BBC Master 512 computer - beige case, BBC keyboard with the Red function keys, (but with the arrow keys in a different orientation to a Model B) and a numeric keypad. Two cartridge slots on the right are empty. It has two small added switches on the back right. On top are the 'Welcome Guide' (for a base Master 128) and 'Master 512 user guide'
The top off the BBC Master 512 - in addition to the dust, we have the Master PSU, the CMOS battery pack, the Master 512 copro in the middle, fly leads going off to the switches, the speaker and cartridge slots, and some EPROMs.

Could this mysterious disappearing organ hold the key to longevity?
Researchers are racing to regrow the thymus,
an ephemeral immune organ,

Wir sind da nicht mitgemeint. Wenn da Menschen sterben und die Weltbevölkerung massiv dezimiert wird, ist das halt ein Kollateralschaden, und genau den möchte man als reiche Elite gerne den anderen überlassen.
