I have several bits and pieces including a working Compaq portable from
about late sixties early seventies. Although "portable" it is heavy and
about the weight(and looks like) a portable sewing machine. It has a built
in 5 inch screen,integral keyboard and operates on two 5 1/4 floppy discs.
I live in Southern England and would be prepared to donate this if someone
was willing to collect it. I also have a working IBM 286 with monitor from
about 1988, again I will donate. Please advise if you are interested or
can put me in touch with someone who is.

Considering that Compaq came into existence in 1982? and their first
product 1983? was a PC clone in a sewing machine style case, ... one from
"about late sixties early seventies" would certainly be a real prize!
Hmmm.. therefore the PC was an imitation Compaq; the Apple motherboard
layout was based on Compaq's; Compaq invented the floppy drive, ...

Compaq? '60s? '70s?

They're so damn clunky it just *feels* like it's 1960s technology.
On the other hand, the vaccuum tubes do help heat the house in the winter.
