That made we wonder... what's the oldest
*operational* digital
machine owned by anyone on this list? Although I suppose it's hard
to define 'machine' -
something with RAM, I/O in some form, and at least one CPU (what
the heck do you call a CPU when it's no longer central?)
I think the following would be my oldest complete systems, the big
problem with the oldest DEC HW I have is getting some easy to
interface with I/O, or getting the I/O I have up and running. The
exception on this list would be the Apple II+.
PDP-8/E
PDP-8/M
PDP-11/03
IMSAI-8080
Apple II+
