What is it? - Page 3

My current antique hardware collection:

1 x Commodore VIC20 (with data cassette)
1 x Commodore 64
2 x Commodore 64C (with 1541 and 1541-II drives and 300 baud modem)
1 x Apple IIc (with monochrome display)
3 x Atari 2600
1 x Atari 7800
1 x Vectrex
1 x Sega Master System
1 x Coleco

Speaking of the Timex Sinclair, I recently purchased a memory expansion for that system at the flea market. The lady who sold it to me thought it was a cell phone power adapter. I beat her down to $1 since I convinced her I was the only person in the vicinity who even knew what it was.

I'm still looking for a Sinclair to plug it into.....

That sounds like a fun collection! I wish I'd kept my T/S. I also had a TI-55 which was the cat's meow in its day with the engineer and premed geeks in high school and college.

Lol my 1st computer was a Vic20, 1st thing I ever programmed on too.
I then upgraded to a sinclair spectrum, and from there to a Commadore Amiga!

I had a pristine Commodore 64C, with 1541 disk drive, just a few years ago. I was moving, so I donated it to Goodwill Industries.

Previous to the Commodore 64C, I think I owned the Atari 7800, or maybe it was the Atari 2600. :roll: I remember my good friend owned a Commodore Amiga; it was a very nice computer, and it had a lot of great games written for it.

I actually dug mine out a 10 years ago and sold it for quite a decent price, had probably 200-300 floppies full of games with it

Including a few that I developed myself.

Now I write payroll software, so much more intersting :roll:

For which I am very grateful.

So much easier than the cheque cashing days.

As with the Macintosh computers, the Commodore Amiga employed a Motorola microprocessor. In its time, the Commodore Amiga had superb graphics, which were far superior to the contemporary, IBM PC computers.
