I have a history, written by Simon Holloway, on another computer that includes information on the first prototype Syncro that was based on a T2.
Hang on, I have just found it on the 80/90 website:
http://www.syncronauts.org.uk/syncro-technical/syncro-history/the-syncro-story
Well worth a read.

Scanned it in hi resolution and sent it through then got it returned as it was too large.
I will try again on lower res.
