Hi!
I'm a 19 year old computer engineering student from Spain. I´m interested in 1970's computer technology, I just love big systems with pluggable boards full of 74 series ICs... But as I'm just a student, so I don´t have money or space (I can´t afford a big PDP-11 ) I ended collecting calculators, wich are far more common and less expensive!. I have a Canon Canola 167P with a punch card reader and subroutine suppor, wich is the closest to a minicomputer I have been able to get, and a Canon 1210 with a delay line memory. I also like HP gear, and I'm a proud owner of a HP-85A computer too. The photos are of the Canon 167P, and some of its boards!. I hope one day I´d be able to afford a micro PDP-11 or something, and to be able to run Unix on it, but overall I'm really happy with my calculators and small personal computers right now!
