My idea with this blog is to showcase the different vintage computers I have and, when I repair them, document the process to share the knowledge.
In general, I’m interested in computers that have some meaning to me: not any vintage computer, and not exclusively the ones that I owned back then. Of course, there are a few exceptions. 🙂
I currently (July 2024) own:
- Sinclair ZX81 (the first computer that I ever used and owned).
- Atari 130XE (the second computer I owned)
- Atari 2600 (I know, it is not a computer, but I owned one and it is a classic!)
- Atari Pong (another non-computer classic)
- Atari 400
- Atari 800
- Atari 65XE
- Atari 65XE (with Ultimate 1MB, Rapidus and Sophia DVI)
- Atari 520ST
- Atari 1040STF
- “Atari” Phoenix from exxos (built by myself)
- Atari Portfolio
- Atari Stacy
- Atari ST Book (yes!)
- Atari PC3
- Sun SPARCstation 5
- Tandy TRS-80
- Apple II+
- PAL-1 (a Kim-1 replica, built by myself)
Over time, I will have posts for each of these computer, with their description, repairs/upgraded/changes I made to them, and why I have them.
Fortunately, at home, I have a small “lab” that I can use for all these works and my tools (see picture).
Thanks for reading!
