How many people on this list still have their 1st
computer? second? third?
every computer you ever used/owned?
I don't have the first one I used. It was an Altair my cousin
owned. Later I used a Z-80 system he designed for a client
and did a little Fortran on it.
I do have the first one I ever owned. It's a microprocessor
trainer from Motorola. It's got a 4801 (a little CMOS version
of the 6800) and all of 256 bytes of memory. The interface
is 8 toggle switches for data, 8 LEDs for output and 3 toggle
switches for control. It even had a cassette interface.
