I was going through some old magazines '78 '79 vintage and found this ad-
I happen to have a PET and fire it up from time to time. Has anyone "vintage" played with the adapter? |
    Yea, I got a few, too. :D What's not shown might be the A3000, Plus/4's, 16, and other stuff.  ETA: I do have a Pakratt-64, too. I gotta hook that thing up and test it. Was also able to find SWL, and Morse Coach carts brand new a few years ago. A place in MA (IIRC) still has them in stock. |

Tell me about the radio set up! Awesome!!!! Look at all those 1541's! That is a nice stash. I only have 4 or 5 64's from the day with the floppy and cassettes. Here are the pull em out every month or so and fire ups http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e72/jfg_4/misc/computers/IMG_1477.jpg I would so love the rs-100 again. AA batteries all the way! |

I think one of those is a Commodore Pet, Commodore C64, Atari 400 (the one with the membrane keys), Texas Instruments TI-99/4, Apple IIe, Apple Macintosh, and a Tandy TRS-80 Model 100. I had, at one time, a TRS-80 Model 1 with the expansion interface and a Franklin Ace 1000. Never should have gotten rid of them. Vulcan94 |

You missed the Timex Sinclair with the 16k memory module on the apple disk drive. |

Had them all!
Loved the Commodore C-64 with the SWL Microlog Cartridge. Could tune in and put cw-rtty-wx maps,etc to my monitor. And had Co Vox Voice Master, had that paralled to another C-64 and would turn text into speech! Cool Stuff. Still have the 64's, 1541-71 floppy drivesc (71 had ext. PS) and MPS-801 D.M. printers. Uses RS DMP-110 ink cartridge, hard to find now. The Great Old Days! |

You missed the Timex Sinclair with the 16k memory module on the apple disk drive. Sure enough! It was well camouflaged. I graduated High School in 1977, so I was there right at the beginning of the computer revolution. Vulcan94 |

I saw stuff like that in a movie once Name the sci-fi with a PET in the background then. God! I should know the answer to that question. I remember seeing it, but I don't remember the name of the movie. I do remember that they used a IMSAI 8080 in the movie, "Wargames", and a Apple IIc was used in both movies "Explorers" and "2010".

as a kid i learned BASIC and 6502 assembly on a apple II and IIe. later on i had an apple III. i still recall "notching" the 5-1/4" floppies so you could use the other side as well. my first year of undergrad engineering school i bought a Mac Plus -- it had a whopping 1MB of RAM, a 8MHz 68000 CPU, and the clever new 3-1/2" drive which accepted floppies with a shutter. only when the Mac SE was introduced could you get a hard drive (20MB SCSI) internal to the Mac. when i started an internship at an R&D lab one of the guys there had a Lisa, and i would always remind him that my Plus had 8 times the RAM... good times. ar-jedi |

Super jelly of that Atari Folio though! |

WOW Doppleganger871 those old computers are awesome!!! Always loved the commodore computer. Thanks for the pic Jim Quoted:

Awesome pics! I really love old computers & old gaming systems. Never really had the money to collect any though. Best I could do on the computer side was a Tandy 1000SX, a COCO 2 (with everything known to man it seemed like), an Apple II+, and an assortment of much newer, but still somewhat legacy 386 systems. All gone now though. Sold them to people that would give them good homes / actual use. I just didn't have the space to store them anymore... :sad:
Gaming side, I had multiple Atari 2600s (including an ancient "heavy sixer"), Sega MasterSystem, Genesis, CD, and 32X, as well as whatever the portable Sega thing was (memory's slipping these days). All good stuff. All I have at the moment is an Atari 7800 (modded to run more 2600 titles than factory) and a Playstation 2. Lots of good times with the old stuff, maybe someday I'll be able to collect them again! |
