I've stack-ranked all the classic items that I, to my everlasting shame,
let go of at some point and now I feel like it was a mistake:
I can sympathise. I regret selling or giving away (or in one case
lending, never to recover) these:
- my first Exidy Sorcerer, with 48K, every ROM PAC and every manual I
could buy, and a lot of mods,
- a PDP-11/40, missing power supplies, but with a full complement of
CPU cards and memory, and several interfaces,
- a BBC Microcomputer, Issue 1, serial no 671; not a great machine
compared to later ones I still have, but historic,
- an SGI Indy which I sold for little more than the cost of shipping,
- a Commodore PET 4032 (though I still have an early 2001 8K with MOS
Technology RAM and ROM),
- a nice VT131, a VT102, and a couple of VT220s,
- a big collection of SCSI and IEEE-488 cables,
and more. OTOH, I don't really have enough space for the stuff I still
do have, nor enough time and energy to make it all work!
