I loved my A310 at the time. I'm not so much of a hardware person though, and I'm not sure I can get it working in the US, despite the rush of nostalgia it would mean. Main issue would be getting a monitor going with it.

I'm sure that someone's done an emulator.

I have used several, the first I used was RedSquirrel which later evolved into the commercial Virtual Acorn. After RedSquirrel stopped getting updates, have mainly used RPCEmu.
