First computer was a ZX81, then a 48k Spectrum, then a string of relatively unusual kit bought by my Dad's boss for various datalogging projects and subsequently discarded. AIM65, Epson HX-20, stuff like that. Among one pile of bits was a manual for a Sinclair MK14 - attempted to write an emulator on the Speccy in machine code, but didn't get very far. Subsequently wrote one in Turbo Pascal on an Amstrad PCW8256 - very slow, but it worked! Currently I've got various PCs and Macs, an Altos 386, IBM Workpad Z50 (not strictly speaking a classic but unusual enough to be nearly on-topic), various Psions, a Sanyo MBC-4050 (the one mentioned on this list, picked up from a guy literally 2 minutes up the road from me!), oh - and the PDP11 that has been the source of so many of my postings recently!
