Looking for vintage computers and/or accessories from the late 70's to early 80's. From the Sinclair, Commodore, Acorn and earlier era. Up to the very first IBM PC/XT/ATs.

There were many different ones around in the day.
 
Gosh, I seem to recall that some years ago I promised you a Newbury (later Grundy) NewBrain Model AD. I have about 50 boxes in offsite storage, and when I get round to sorting through them I think the NewBrain and other antique microcomputers will appear. I also had an add-in 180kB external floppy drive for it, with CP/M, but I seem to recall I gave that away.

I learned to speak Z80 on that machine (it has a native Zilog Z80A). It was going to be the BBC machine, but came too late so they went with Acorn.

There should also be a Sinclair QL with the infamous Microdrives. Learned (Motorola)68K Assembler on that.
