Last count, I had a dozen Vic-20s.

Then if found a couple more hiding on a shelf behind a couple of C64 brown boxes.

A group photo of my five smallest home computers, previously posted on other forums:

The Oric-1 is my latest find, bought as defect/for spares because it didn't display a colour picture. It turns out the RF modulator is flaky, but I found a temporary fix.

Maybe it doesn't belong in "other system" though... But it's another star system...

You own four SX-64:s?

Do you have any software to exchange? I have .. ahem .. had a brief look at the Salora manual, but my Finnish is a bit rusty. Elsewhere the machine has very limited support yet. One of those days I'll make a serious attempt in adopting some software to read tape samples and see if it can be made to work with the Laser.

That's cool too, but not as cool as four SX-64:s.

Mikam73 wrote:NEXT

The NeXT is a bit overrated in my limited experience. We had a NeXTstation Color at the computer club and while it was funky and all, I didn't see what's all the buzz was about, compared to pretty much any Macintosh or Wintel PC from the day. But then again, people adopt systems out of obscurity (just look at us) rather than superiority.

Pet 2001

You mean the first model with the small keyboard and built-in tape recorder? They'll begun to show up more and more recently, but still command good money. I don't own or had access to get one, but I've had enough of other PETs to not feel sorry for it.

Yes. 4.

I only have this for Salora Manager http://www.madrigaldesign.it/creativemu/news.php

If you are fast, you can get last one of those

Ehm, I already own the creatiVision Multicart and even put MADrigal in touch with the Mega-Cart team for helpful hints.

I bought the Multicart right after I got the Laser 2001. Earlier this year I acquired a set of other CV cartridges + a real creatiVision console too, so I have both.

I also have a tape version of Sonic Invader. See if you can load it on your Salora Manager:

http://www.cbm.sfks.se/files/sonicinvader.wav (4.4 MB)

But apart from that, no other Laser specific software yet. :-/

Hmm, I found this page, last updated 2002:
http://www.computers-n-robots.de/price_ ... _item.html

I'm unsure which German sources Holger used, but it seems back then exactly one Laser 2001 had been sold for 52 Euros which today would a total bargain even if it was unboxed. In the list you can find quite a few VIC-20 items too.

Yes right, he helps us giving us some suggestions mainly for packaging.

My collection of old computers is rather small, but I am working on extending it:

* Commodore C64C
* Amiga 500
* Plus/4
* Vic-20

I also have a modded C64DTV, but that's not old though.

Impressive since they are quite expensive here

I have several Commodore 64s, one Commodore 128 and one Amiga 600. I limit myself to Commodore computers... Oh yes I have an Atari Portfolio as well. It is pretty neat.

I'm actually in the Collector's Corner section of Retro Gamer #54... they couldn't use all the photos I sent and even then, they were only a proportion of what I own... if you want a butchers at what I sent, I uploaded them to grab...

Wow, Mayhem!

What a collection! There's a couple of things there I wouldn't mind having...

The C64GS would be nice. But I'm most jealous about the Jeff Minter Spectrum! How did you come by that?

Mayhem · Post by **Mayhem** » Thu Aug 14, 2008 7:16 am

Jeff put the Speccy up as a prize for best score on GR++ on one life at one of the random London Llamasoft gatherings back in... 2003 I think. Why I have no idea, but I somehow managed to last long enough to claim it...
