I'm not too interested in the Apple I, but I do find (for example) the Acorn System series, Elektor Junior, Synertek Sym-1, MOS KIM-1 and Rockwell AIM-65 interesting. Not interesting enough to pay the stupid money they're selling for on Ebay, but interesting enough that I might spend a few evenings entering the design into Quartus and doing an FPGA re-implementation, or building a clone on Veroboard. (But of course if someone offered to sell me one of the above for what I thought was a 'reasonable price', I wouldn't say no, even if I had to spend a month of weekends doing debugging and component-level repair work) Exceptions would be the Apple II and Acorn BBC Micro. The AII on the grounds that I think it's neat how the parts count was pushed so low (especially on things like the disc controller) and the Acorn because it was pretty much the first "real" computer I used... -- Phil. classiccmp at philpem.me.uk http://www.philpem.me.uk/
