4MB Ram (seems to have been upgraded as Ive found a reciept for 2X16mb modules) 250mb HDD and a 486DX intel proccessor. It was made in 1994 (I was born in 1992) It had DOS 6.22 and Windows 3.11 for workgroups.

Looking for a CD on the shelf and I found a manual for the first computer I ever used. It's nice that I can use an emulator to run all the programs I wrote. About 50% of the floppies made it (they were all water damaged and growing mould when I got them) but most of the stuff I programmed was saved. I had forgotten the disks at my parents house and they (barely) survived a house fire. I also had to transfer all my C-64 floppies onto the PC using a special cable I made. I don't have the room to keep things like the big CBM, but these can be tucked away nicely on a shelf. I own a TRS-80 PC-3 Pocket computer, and a Sharp PC-1261 pocket computer. I still do some 'classic computing' but in smaller form. That was a hefty machine! The dual-floppy drive I had for it was about the size of two PC towers! I also had a Commodore CBM for a short time. The keyboard was crap, 1k of ram (unless you had the 16k ram pack) black & white. The bad thing about that computer is you had to take the 'data pack' out of the tape drive when you shut it off, or it would erase the tape. The tape drive was fast compared to the C-64 one, and took special tapes. I also owned a Coleco Adam which was kindof a neat computer. :( And yes, I had a hole-punch accessory ) I REALLY wanted a modem so I could get onto BBSes, but my parents wouldn't get me one.

I had two floppy drives and a printer for it. I also had a floppy that played a clip of the Holiday Rap on the C-64 along with some Porn and a strip poker game. The C-64 just seemed so much more advanced - 16 colors and I could listen to SIDs (as opposed to computer speaker beeps). Now THAT was a fun computer! I also ended up getting a 8088 XT which I barely used and was infected with the Stoned virus. I began learning a lot of BASIC programming on that one. I eventually found a cable to connect a cassette deck, and a book which enabled me to type in my first BASIC program called 'Shoot The M's'.Īfter that computer, I moved up to a Commodore Vic 20.

I got it used and had a lot of 'fun' trying to find stuff for it. My first was a TRS-80 Model 1 running Level II BASIC.
