MITS Altair 8800. I actually built this thing. Then got tired of never getting a date & didn't get another computer until the Radio Shack Color Computer and the TRS80.

The RS CoCo design came straight out of a Motorola 6809 app note. So OC-ing plus a real operating system were available from the industrial equivalent, OS9. This OS also included Basic09 which was like Basic and like Pascal.

Needless to say I had *every software* produced for the 6809 & that OS ... spreadsheet, etc.:$

OC-ed the "Trash 80" also. :whiste:

I started working for IBM in Sept 1981, so I had to have one of these.

The better question is, who besides me actually has an Amiga or Commodore 64/128 set up and running?

Born a little too late and my parents were Mac users. First computer in my family was a Mac SE and the first one I actually got myself was a Mac IIcx (with a COLOR SCREEN OMG).

For all you guys with Commodores but no working monitors, the Commodore monitor cable actually breaks out into S-Video signals. I have a working Commodore monitor but didn't want it taking up space, so I built an adapter cable to go from the Commodore monitor cable to S-Video on my plasma. Works flawlessly! :thumbsup:


You guys just read my mind, time to dig up the C64 and Amiga 500. ^_^
Hopefully I can find the FastLoad cartridge.

IBM PC jr play the hell out of DR Jay vs. Larry Bird and Kings Quest

Before I had the jr I wanted a Ti99/4a so bad. One of my friends had one and though it was most awesome thing I ever seen.

My fat agnus is going well. Bless her little bit of memory and 4096 colors.

I rebuilt my Amiga 2000 earlier this year. Unfortunately the battery leaked and corroded the CPU socket (which I still need to repair), so I just grabbed a motherboard off eBay and some of the cool things I couldn't afford as a college kid (68030 accelerator, flicker fixer) and now she sits on my desk and is connected to one of my Dell monitors. Still a beauty after nearly 23 years.
