My collection is ...  a bit long to list :) Means there's hardly any room left in the flat, don't think the girlfriend understands the fascination! She has been playing Settlers on my 1200 lately though!

The actual consoles vary from the Atari 2600 to the PS3 via things like a Neo Geo, and the computers start with the VIC-20 and ZX80 up to the AmigaOne which is my main computer (with an Athlon FX-51 PC for games like Civ). In between there's 3 C64s (2 of which without SID chips so I could put them in the AmigaOne), Commodore MAX Machine, Atari 800XL and 800XE, 65XE, an ST (original, no disk drive), a 1024STfm, Faclon 030, Memotech MTX-512, tons of Spectrums, Mattel Aquarius, Tatung Einsten TC-256, Dick Smith V300, Laser 200, Panasonic JR-200U, some MSXs including a Philips MSX2, ZX80, some ZX81s, Jupiter Ace and Ace 4000, TRS80 MC-10, Dragon 64, Archimedes A3010, TI-99/4 and TI-99/4A, Enterprise 64, BBC Electron, B and B+, some Sinclair clones from Brazil or Russia mostly, PetersPlus Sprinter, EACA Colour Genie EG2000, CGL M5, 2 Tomy Tutors, Commodore 16, 116 and Plus 4s, Mac Mini, a couple of old PCs (486 and K6-2), a SPARCstation 2, a maxed-out SPARCstation 10 (dual 180MHz!), some others I've forgotten.....

...and of course 2 A500s, 3 A1500s (with A2286, A2386 upgraded to 486SLC2/50 and GoldenGate 486SLC25 respectively), an A4000 towerised (AmigaOS 4), AmigaOne XE G4, and a Sam 440ep.

That reminds me... I have a Sam Coupe too. Oh yes, and a Triumph Adler Alphatronic PC. And a ... well, you get the idea! Now if only I could afford an AmigaOne X1000...!

Just not very familiar with the TI and found out that I really shouldn't have gotten the ST..  One letter "m" can make a huge difference.  The 520fm can hook to a TV (m=modulator).  The 520f needs a monitor, and it's just not worth the hassle for me.


You can buy cables to connect STs to TVs, at least in Europe where we have SCART. It wouldn't be hard to make a composite video either, someone must have done it somewhere....
