Acorn would present the BBC’s Computer Literacy Program Project team with a computer prototype in less than five days.

Acorn’s sprint to deliver a BBC Micro prototype was initiated with a make-or-break Sunday evening phone call between company co-founder Hermann Hauser and two of the micro's principal actors.

Herman Hauser, Sophie Wilson, Steve Furber discuss the development of the BBC Micro.
