Community Memory: Discussion List on the History of Cyberspace ______________________________________________________________________
I have some older computers that I still play with - but not as old as a 1620 8+)
I still play with my Atari 8-bit computers. I built an SIO2PC interface that allows me to connect to a PC. I can then use the PC as a server - I've never seen such fast loading times on an Atari! 8+)
I also have played from time to time with a Sinclair ZX81 that has been heavily modified and improved by my dad. He attached a full-size keyboard and built a wooden case for it, into which the ZX81 fit nicely, along with a fan, and a HUGE capacitor that simulated a UPS during (extremely short) power interruptions.
