The '''Excalibur 64''' was a kit computer released by the now defunct Australian company BGR Computers. The Excalibur 64 sold from July 1983 to August 1984.

BGR Computers was established January 1983 with the intent of developing a system similar to the MicroBee to get a foot hold in both the educational and business markets. The company at time wanted to develop a complete system but the costs of development and availability of software made this prohibitive.  Therefore, to enter the fledging home computer market BGR engaged an independent design company to develop a diskless kit which was first advertised in the magazine Electronics Australia's July 1983 edition.

More that 300 kits were sold and with the help of user groups the software catalogue grew and included, games, utilities and educational programs.

By December 1983 the Excalibur 64 was released as a complete system the sales price jumped from $399 to $699 but was fully built and tested. This price did not include a monitor and a disc controller board that could run up to four 5 ¼ or 8-inch drives would cost a further $299. 

The idea of this project is to get to close as we can get the the fifth and last version of the Excalibur 64. Then add the peripherals, first a port expansion board and then a FDD controller. The controller will only accommodate 2 x 5 1/4" drives not the 8" drives. 

Oh! and a nice case ... eventually.
