moonlit Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 I wish I still owned my old computers but I have owned: ApricotPC Ahh, green-screen goodness ^_^ 2x floppy drives too, my PCs didn't have this 'till years after :p Toshiba T3100 Luggable (not sure this is the same model but it's near enough) Ran Windows 3.1 and did so well. Wasn't all that useful as a laptop but it worked great as a deskop with a small footprint. Amstrad PPC512 Luggable Ran MSDOS 3.3. Tried running games on it but the passive matrix LCD blurred worse than the original gameboy. It did run well though and was a fairly nice machine. The 720k floppy was a bit of a pain though, most of my disks at the time were 1.4MB from when I used the PS/2 below. IBM PS/2 (Mine had a tape drive of some sort in the second floppy bay.) Ahh yeah, the good old days. Ran Windows 3.1, was fairly stable but had its moments. I did have a tape drive but I never managed to find carts to fit it, I think it was 10MB tapes or something stupid... ho-hum... Acorn Archimedes A3000 A classic machine, was used extensively in UK schools. I learnt to program on these and always wanted an A5000. Never got one, never got an A7000 RiscPC either... :( Amiga 500(+) I had many Amigas but this was my first. An Amiga 500+ with a GVP ImpactII HDD wedged on the left hand side. Ran wonderfully until the HDD borked and took all my stuff with it. Sorely missed. RIP Amiga :( I also had an Amiga 600HD and a 1200, all the Amigas were great machines and I wish they were still around now. *sob* I had many more old machines besides these. but these are probably the best of the ones I owned though, I really really wish I still had them Edit: How could I forget my Mac Classic II?! I still own this baby and I don't intend to get rid of it. Still works a charm, runs System 7.5.3 ^_^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

take it take Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 I have a computer case of an Apple II clone (circa 1986). Everything else is gutted out. The oldest working computer I still have is an Apple IIe. The Apple "green screen" monitor flips, but everything else still works. I even transfer some of my weird ass APPLESOFT BASIC programs into my PC and ran it with an Apple II emulator. Apple II forever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

macker Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 I just bought a used “Sun Fire 3800â€, with eight 900Mhz UltraSPARC III and 64GB of memory, that’s the oldest computer I own. 64 GB of memory eh? Wow, that's a lot for such an old comp. I think they where only released two years ago. I like Sun equipment as the second hand market is large and the amount of people that buy second-hand equipment is small, so you can pick up two to four year old equipment at a fraction of the original price. My server is a used Sun V65x server with: Dual 3.2GHz Xeon’s, Four 73GB SCSI drives 8GB of memory Dual integrated 10/100/1000-NIC ATI Rage XL with VGA ports front and rear Three USB ports 8 X DVD-ROM Drive Floppy Drive And all of that only cost me £720. I run Debian on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
