Just for the hell of it, I thought I'd make a list
of the Top 10 Holy Grails
of classic microcomputer computer collecting. This is the "Rembrandt in the
Attic" sort of stuff. These are roughly in my opinionated order, but
somewhat randomly ordered:
1. The Altair prototype that was to be the cover photo
for Popular
Electronics but was lost in shipment
2. Xerox Alto
3. Mark 8
4. Scelbi 8H
5. Kenbak-1
6. Micral 8008
7. Apple I
8. An unassembled Altair 8800 Kit
9. Busicom Japan Intel 4004-based Calculator
10. IBM 5100
Hmm Breaking down to just 10 is hard, but when
it comes to the 'most desirable' ones, I would
personaly add at #1 the wooden PET prototype.
And eventualy the ATARI-ST prototype boards.
Gruss
