Here is a list of the computers that I’ve managed to hang onto
over the years. I also have a vintage calculator collection but
calling any of them computers would be kind of a stretch.
SWT CT-1024 TV Typewriter II Not really a computer but it was the interface to my Altair
Mark-8 Not a computer yet. Just a pile of IC’s, circuit boards, LED’s,
components etc.
Altair 8800
Commodore Pet 2001 w/chicklet keyboard and built in cassette.
Commodore Vic-20
Commodore 64 w/ C2N cassette unit
Timex Sinclair 1000
Computer Designed Systems Inc MG081/K
Mystery computer - computer, keyboard and printer
all in one unit about the size of a big typewriter.
connectors - 18 pin single row C-CRT, 34 pin FDD
3 din connectors - Light Pen, TV, ACMT, D-shell RS323
Z80 processor
Anybody know anything about this computer??
ALTOS 587T 8086
ADAM family computer w/upgrade kit
TI 99/4A
Osborne Executive
w/complete set of manuals and software.
Sharp Scientific Computer EL-5500-T
hand held, runs basic
Hewlett Packard 75D
World’s first PDA?
IBM PC-1
64K, Single sided 160K FDD, Monochrome Monitor
Spent a zillion dollars in upgrades for this thing.
Expansion chassis, multifunction boards, RGB monitor
Hard drives, on and on.
IBM PC-JR
I once had enough of these JR’s to build a book shelf,
using JR’s instead of the concrete blocks.
IBM 5140 PC Convertible
IBM Portable
IBM PS/1
IBM PS/2 Mod 25 8086
I got rid of all my other PS/2’s. No room to keep.
Mac Classic
Used it for a door stop
Panasonic Senior Partner Portable
Compaq Plus Portable
Olivetti portable
Panasonic Business Partner laptop (80286)
This was my first laptop; now retired to my collection
RELATED COMPUTER STUFF
Heathkit Z/89 computer keyboard.
I originally had the entire computer, but someone sawed off
the keyboard. (wanted it detachable) The thing wasn’t working
so I took out the circuit boards and trashed the console. (Ouch!)
That was before I discovered JB Weld.
Heathkit H77
Dual 5 1/4 inch Floppy Unit
Heathkit H47
Dual 8 inch Floppy Disk Unit
Too heavy for a good boat anchor
Might want to sell this some day.
ASR-35 Teletype
Want to eventually connect this to the Altair
Wilson Labs MWX-1000 Winchester disk analyzer.
Ligo Research - Angel intelligent print buffer
Quickdata External hard drive unit
Is this the worlds smallest 5 1/4 hard drive (512K)???
TRS-80 X-pad
I’ll give this up if I don’t find a TRS-80 soon.
I also have lots of computer junk (boards, cards, chips, drives, etc.)
I’ll make a list some day in case anybody can use some of it.
I have a collection of vintage computer books, manuals and magazines.
I’ll append that later also.
