This article explains the concept of the Centre Computer Base as a set of hardware for running the various micro-computer programs developed at Birmingham University's Research Centre for the Education of the Visually Handicapped. The programs fall into two main categories: the first is concerned with the needs of very young and less able blind and partially sighted children; the second covers the educational and vocational interests of older children, students and adults. The essential hardware is described, with alternative commercially available devices listed, and an account is given of how the basic set-up can be expanded as needs change.
