Subject: Re: Collections of (physically) large computers From: Jules Richardson <julesrichardsonuk at yahoo.co.uk> Date: Sun, 29 Oct 2006 05:46:33 -0600 To: General Discussion: On-Topic and Off-Topic Posts <cctalk at classiccmp.org> The question of who has the smallest computer might be an interesting one. Whilst in later years the technology allowed machines to pack a lot more electronics into the case, the physical size didn't really decrease much - and in a lot of cases got bigger (quite often due to built-ins like disk drives that didn't *need* to be part of the main system). I suppose my Acorn System One is probably my smallest system - two Eurocards, about 100 x 160 x 30mm in size, complete with built-in keypad, display, tape, and expansion interfaces. My Sinclair ZX81 is probably next - but of course lacks a display so needs a TV in order to really be useful... cheers Jules
