The PCW was a great machine! Granted it was rather slow and monochrome, but it had many CP/M apps. I have to admit at the time I mostly programmed it and wrote coursework, games were generally adventure based, but it did have Starglider, Batman, Head over Heels etc. That's not to say it was …

I collect and use vintage computers - because for me "home" was always in the past - even as a child I was always painting 1920-30 era cars and 1910's wooden airplanes, not Ferraris and Transformers as other kids around) ... So I don't live in the past, but I keep things from the past as part of my …

I collect classic computers because... I missed them in the past, when they were too expensive and unaffordable. Also I like all kind of vintage stuff - for me "home" was always in the past - 1920-30's cars, 1910's wooden planes and 1980-90 computers are the same attractive for me... as part of …

I guess, the maximum RAM for this board would be 2MB? What are the U27, U28, U63 and U64 sockets for? . No it supports 4 mbs of RAM by SIPP_30 modules - I removed onboard chips and installed sipps for some time, then changed again, as I have only one set of SIPP_30 units - they are in another AT …

At the times just before the fall uf the USSR and soon after, about 1988-1992 computers like that cost enormous money in Moscow - like a "Volga" car or 1/2 of an apartment. So now when I turn it on I imagine I had it then, instead of Amstrad PCW8512 I used to had from 1988 to 1995 - as it had no …
