OK, some here might have Epson HC-20s. (Epson repainted the grey case
beige and removed the Katakana from the keyboard and ROMs to make the
HX-20 a few years later)
But how many here know about the RC-20?
A wrist watch with a touch screen, imitation Z-80, ROM, RAM, and a serial
port. YES, it was >10 years ago.
But my primary interest is disk drives and formats. 40 track 3.5", 3",
3.25", Amlyn 5.25" jukebox, ... I might have to get a Lisa just to get
one of those strange "twiggy" drives.

Hello -
Frank, I couldn't find your email address, so I'm posting to this lis.
I have a HP9000 series 500 doing nothing but holding down the floor.
Are you interested in a trade?

Hmmm. I have two AT&T 3B1 model 310s. Does that count as one or two?
AFIK I have the only Tek 4051.

I guess prototype 2650 S100 machines / cards qualify? There must be a lot
of homebrew "single instance" machines lying around. Here's one I'm
particularly fond of...
http://www.comcen.com.au/~adavie/weird/s100.html
This machine ran CP/M on a 2650 using a software 8080 emulator written in
2650. Slowly!

Just tell me this is a joke ... not only a 2650 _somwhere_, but
rather a real S100 system - Geee I can't get it ... THATS great
I think this is from now on my personal favorite for the most
unusual homebrew uP system of all times. Thats just fantastic!
(BTW, it's maybe not very visible, but I had some relations
to the 2650 in the past ... my first uP :)
Of course this is a _slow_slow_slow_ thing when emulating a
8080 - I guess it runns like a 100 kHz 8080 :))
I know, the idea is not new, but I still think it's worth to do:
What about a list of all systems 'known to exist' i.e. a list
of all machines that are 'alive'. THe question about singularity
comes up every half year, so this list could help. If there is
some interest, I will volunteere to compile this list.

Re: 2650 S100 machine
I obtained this machine from it's designer, and it is definitely NOT a joke!
The particular 2650 processor card in this machine was a prototype for a
card which was published in an electronics magazine here. I have quite a
few software tapes (yes, cassette tapes, as this ran CP/M from a cassette
(AFAIK)) and can confirm that it was running CP/M via an 8080 emulator
written in 2650.
Machine looks great, and if there's any requests, I'll improve the pictures
and do close-ups. Totally homebrew in that every single card was made by
the owner - no commercial stuff at all. Heck, the power supply is even
homebrew :)
Cheers

I would also like to see schematics of the CPU board.

Do you have more information ?
Could this have been a down under specific thing ?

last night looking at my Byte collection to see if there were

yesterday was about 41C and today is at least that hot...). Sadly all my
old Electronics Australia and ETI magazines got "lost" during a move a
