| 1970's-era Microcomputer Collecting | I think these machines are very cool! I have a MITS Altair 680, a GMX (Gimix) 6809, a COSMAC 1802 ELF, and a home-made SS-50 6809 system derived from the SWTPC designs, built by my good friend Pete Gerardi. All three machines still work very well. I've also created a classic computer emulation. In addition to these, I've got a "Smoke Signal Broadcasting" 6800, a Sinclair ZX-80, a bunch of Amigas, and an original IBM PC. |
