Strange what you find in the back of your garage.

These photos may trigger some old memories for old time TG members (Complete with cobwebs!) :

Couldn't remember what Zarch was. This triggered my memory.

They are all in my bookcase. Must set up a nostalgic Zoom call with them in the background.

My RiscPC is still plugged in and working.
I mainly run RISC OS in VirtualRPC-AdjustSA.

Acorn/Bobp. Great to see you've still got your original machines and software. I had an Acorn Archimedes, gone now, can't even remember how!

i had an amstrad pcw - Z80[1] cpu which died, but they were not soldered in so i nipped down to maplin at wombwell [remember maplin?] and bought one to replace in the socket - it worked !! - I still have some of the protext [not locoscript, yuk] files on hard disk converted from cp/m to dos asciii

the hardware has gone - I still have this plastic case that was bought for 5.25 floppies, still use it for CD's, although they are now virtually obsolete:

yes that is a quad valve [tube] amp behind it - some things persisit, although it is a modern version, more like a leak circuit-wise based on el84

Continuing the nostalgia theme. Found at the bottom of a filing cabinet rather than the back of the garage

Never heard of the IYONIX Gary.

Strange what we keep.

Here's a Casio PB-100 which I used back towards the end of th 80's. You could write programs for it in Basic. I wrote one to quickly attain the ships stability status. It was excellent. Just ordered some new batteries for it to see if it still works.
