As for computers...I've got a handful. I've got:

  • And finally, my new favorite thing: my MicroPDP-11. Started as an 11/23, got upgraded to an 11/73 when I found another machine at the recycle center that they let me strip. Super-cool; I've wanted a DEC mini for years, but I've never had the budget or space for one of the classic fridge-sized machines. This is nearly the size of an apartment radiator, but still quite a bit more manageable :D Still need to see if I can get the SCSI controller I got to work with this thing...

Wow.... back when I was a field engineer for Burroughs, I installed and repaired a giant laser printer that used a pdp 11/34 as a controller.  The beast could do 120ppm in duplex.

Nice :D I don't have any such fancy peripherals, though I did get the controller board for a mass spectrometer from the scrapped unit o_O (No software, though.) Been having a lot of fun talking with the DEC guys over on the Vintage Computer Forum since I got it.

We just OEM'ed the thing from Xerox. They called it the 9700. In addition to running the printer, it had a 9 track tape drive, a disk pack, and a dumb terminal to control. It was fun to open up the interlocks and watch it run, especially in duplex.

Cool, I've got a Derbi Predator LC I've had for several years.
Been thinking about bumping it up to 70cc.

I stuck a 70cc kit on my Tomos LX, it only lasted about 700 miles, piston kinda melted.  Should've put on a bigger carb, I think. 50mph was nice, though.

50 mph on a Tomos would be cool.
I can manage 40 to 45 on the Derbi with an unrestricted exhaust.
Luckily, with liquid cooling I probably don't have to worry about a meltdown.

Wish I had the bigger wheels of a Tomos though.
The Derbi can be a handfull with its small wheels.

I have the usual computer collection (tons of PCs, one in working condition, similar collection of laptops); my Amiga fix (when I need it) is handled by WinUAE.

On the non-computer side I have a bookcase full of pen and paper role-playing games, the crown jewels of which are a set of Original D&D rules (specifically one of these) autographed by Gary Gygax and Dave Arneson, plus a bunch of cool boardgames (a 2nd edition and the much rarer 3rd edition of Space Hulk).
Back away from the EU-SSR!

Hi it was a shame the engine could no last with the 70cc on it.

What Computers/Consoles do you own? Or are there anything special you collect besides Computers :)


Way too much stuff to list here! Suffice to say I have 2 A2ks, an SX-64, a C=64, an A500, 1 Raspberry Pi, and over 30 working PCs, notebooks and netbooks running every OS from Windows 98SE to Windows 8. I also dabble in robotics.

An ancient Z80 CP/M system and homebrew Z80 stuff
An ancient (retired) A2000HD system with AmigaOS 3.1
MicroA1 PPC system with AmigaOS 4.1 Update 5
Some PC systems and a laptop
iPod touch and iPad

One of my PC systems is dual boot ... Windows XP or QNX
This system also has AmigaExplorer.
I used this system as a back-up device and CD burner when I was first setting up my OS4 system.

No consoles except an original gold-screen GameBoy with a lot of dead pixels and only about 2 games.

I've got the old model Mac Mini that I'm typing on right now.  It runs MacOSX Snow Leopard.

I've got a Win7-based Sony Vaio laptop that hardly ever gets used.

All the rest of my computers are Amigas of various stripes including a MorphOS-based PowerMac G4, a MicroA1, and an A1200.

Besides my around 10 classic Amigas I have several MorphOS machines (Pegasos1, two Mac minis, PowerBook) and then some other systems I've got for free (I won't pay for anything if it's not going to be for Amiga use, for god's sake!) :)

Those freebies include:
- Too many PC systems... for example three 2.8GHz P4 machines. One of them is in use as a torrent machine, rest of those I haven't even bothered to test yet.
- iMac G5, for creating some PDF files of scans and as a guest machine
- C128D for 8 bits... gave away other C64 stuff to make some space :)

I also used to have some Sparc stuff, but sold them, because I really didn't have any need for them anymore...

Oh and gf has PS3... I occasionally play NHL or racing games with driving wheel (GT5, Dirt3, WRC...) with it.
Daily MorphOS user and Amiga active.
