Re: Stuff and Things.
I used to own a 7800. Annoyingly I sold it about 15 years ago. I may fix that with a 7800+

Re: Stuff and Things.
Yes, but my X68000 has been completely recapped (including the PSU) and the CMOS battery is new.
Despite my conscience saying 'No' and @rubber_jonnie's wise advise, I am still tempted to get a Beeb Master 128... If the temptation is too strong and my will too weak, I will discover by myself the joys of the Beeb.

Re: Stuff and Things.
Such as it's big and bulky and you only have a small space?
Intro retro computers since before they were retro...
ZX81->Spectrum->Memotech MTX->Sinclair QL->520STM->BBC Micro->TT030->PCs & Sun Workstations.
Added code to the MiNT kernel (still there the last time I checked) + put together MiNTOS.
Collection now with added Macs, Amigas, Suns and Acorns.

Yes, that's one of all the other cons but not a major one though.stephen_usher wrote: ↑Sat Nov 30, 2024 1:49 pm Such as it's big and bulky and you only have a small space?
