What's the rarest or most unusual computer-related item do you own?

I don't have a Fortran compiler for it. I do have a BASIC that runs on it. It has a number of useful operation like matrix operations. The processor was intended to speed up Fourier transforms, using a FFT. It even had a bit reversal operation for doing FFT addressing. I also have a Diablo 80 drive, interface and a couple disks for it but have never connected it up. When I first got it, I only had the single floppy drive. I'd love to get more software for it. There is a lot of interesting items in the user library. Did you compile the Fortran on the 1080 or cross compile from some other machine? By 1980 it was getting pretty long in the tooth. The digitizer was most likely the reason it was still being used. It is relatively easy to use.

The system was used with an equally rare Block Engineering 197RS Fourier Transform Spectrometer to measure infrared spectra. The signals from the spectrometer were collected on an HP instrumentation tape recorder and digitized in the 1080 for processing. I remember programming the damn thing in Fortran. I had a lot of patience in those days. Doug
