If I could find one of the earlier 700 models, I would be very happy. But unfortunately these days I have to be happy with the 1000H :)

My son cleaned his room and found an old eeePC he had borrowed a long time ago. So now I am trying to see how to make it useful. Maybe someone can help me with a few questions: 1. The system was clearly designed for MS Windows, as the keyboard has the typical Windows-keys. But it does run...

I don’t own one, but I worked on it during my it study in an internship. Not useful for you, but I liked to share 😁

Not even our local museum has one. And their collection is huge.

My friends en me used to play Red Alert, later Ghost Recon. Not as retro, but in the time these games where the thing. We are becoming retro ourselves :)

Can’t compete with that :D My collection is not based on rare or old, but on “what I have owned when younger”, so nothing that special. I think the rarest items are a “Lo profile”-keyboard for the original ZX Spectrum, and a Z88. Not that rare, but most loved is my TRS 80 in the exact same...

Hi Boon. Enjoy this forum. I have no doubt you will :).

You may not care for tablets, but my answer would be a tablet nevertheless. What I use most is: - Apple Macbook Air M2 for office - Apple iPad Pro M1 for about everything - Raspberry Pi 4B for coding - Raspberry Pi 400 for coding support

I played Asylum on the TRS-80. Didn’t even get out of the first room, the one with the paper and the key on the outside, without help :rolleyes: Later I tried The Hobbit on the ZX Spectrum. I knew the book very well, drew a map on paper, found out that it had actual errors in it (somewhere...

I am probably much too young to use my memory as having a shred of authority, but still, I can tell you what the words did mean in my memory, about 40 years ago: a personal computer was an IBM PC-family member or -clone. A homecomputer was one of the 8-bit computers that hit the market, and some...

Herzlich willkommen in diesem Forum.

thank you all. I have obtained a 1541-ii. It is working like a dream

I don’t think I will get a 128 someday :) First a ZX 81 and ZX Spectrum again

Well, I am 53, and I remember the frustration very well. But still I want my TRS-80 to run on a real floppy. With age the frustration leaves the memory and the fondness remains, I found :)

could you elaborate on that? Sounds like based on a raspberry pi?

So I have a C64 now, and today obtained a 1701 monitor. Now I will be looking for a floppy drive. Just to make sure I don’t make mistakes: do I understand correctly that I will be needing a 1541? And if so, are there different versions that I should care about? Any other things I should look out...

:) Well, there is one thing speaking for the ST: it is technological the more sophisticated machine. But I agree, given the situation, the C64 has a few things more. As a child I played hours and hours at a friend with a C64. My experience with the ST is very limited. It looks like the C64 is...

Yes, I prefer the games on the C64. But tbh for both systems only a few games that I really like. (Lemmings on the ST and Boulderdash on the C64 are my favorites)

Yes, I know it is my own decision, but still, insights would be appreciated: My collection is based on one criterium: it must be a system, or part of a system, or at least closely related to a system, I used to own or work with when younger. This way my collection is almost complete, but can be...

Thank you, I will search for a commodore monitor then
