I would suggest as a first stop New York's Museum of Television and Radio
<http://www.mtr.org./research.htm> (212) 621-6662, which has a remarkable
collection of British material. They also have a co-equal institution in
Los Angeles: (310) 786-1036.

I don't know whether to laugh or cry. What a nightmare! And to think
that 90% of the computer world is willing to put up with such nonsense! It
must be pointed out that the nightmare scenario described here is all but
non-existent for Mac users. With a Macintosh, you _can_ just plug an
extra harddrive into your Mac and merrily copy files from one drive to the
other. I'd be a little nervous about copying operating system files in
this manner---I think it's best to install an OS from scratch on any
computer or on any hard drive---but in general, with the Mac, you can just
'plug and play' additional harddrives, CD drives, printers, scanners, etc.
Why anyone puts up with with an OS that requires editing AUTOEXEC.BAT
files is beyond me. Mac users don't have to give a moment's thought to
such arcane matters!
I weep when people suffer chronic pain needlessly. I also weep when I
awake from my own, personal nightmare, in which my beloved Mac has been
taken away, and a wretched Windows machine has usurped its place.
