Hello Fellow Old Computer Lovers!
I've got quite a stash of Old Stuff here at my house. I'm not really a
collector, but most of my stuff was bought simply for the challenge of
seeing/learning what it could do..
I used to use and love my Old Computers all the time, but that
was back when I had an extra bedroom which gradually became a
machine room...
Unfortunately, my brother moved back a couple of years ago, so
all of the working stuff got stacked away in the garage...
none of the really old stuff gets much use anymore, but I can't
just throw it away...
My oldest stuff is of the 8" disk variety, a couple of BigBoard CP/M
machines, A Callan Data Systems Unix Computer, Xerox 820's,
A few Epson QX-10/16's, and a number of other oddballs, like a
Rockwell AIM-65, some working, some unknown because I have
no disks, or other needed peripheral.
I'd prolly still be collecting even more, but I have too much already
and have precious little room to devote to them as is...
Also wanted to point out that I saw an IMSAI 8080 for $60 just two
weeks ago at a local swap meet, so Good Old Hardware is STILL
out there to be had...
Anywho, just wanted to say HI!
I'm glad to have a place to chat about the old stuff.
