ZX80, ZX81, Spectrum, Acorn Acom, Acorn Electron, BBC Micro, etc, etc.
Do you count machines like the Amstrad CPC464 which had a built-in
cassette recorder?
And don't forget the Commodore cassette port - used on the PET, VIC,
C64, ...
This blurred the line between built-in cassette drives

It's hard to gauge the prices on anything. Especially on the

Not computer related but I have an old 22cal rifle that belonged to
my father. And, as a child I fired it a few times, too. I would
like to restore it if for no other
More updates.
The person interested in the 380Z seems to be pulling out. Another
person may be interested, but I am open to offers from people on the
list (and elsewhere).

Dear all,
I am still trying to declutter enough to empty the storage container,
and have room to move around in my basement. I have decided not to
renew the lease on the storage container on 10 January, so stuff needs
to go by then.
The following stuff will go in the skip if no one comes
Finally, one piece of DEC kit I didn't mention last time is the Magtape
drive. This is the sort that takes up the top 18U or thereabouts of a
rack, but doesn't go very deep. I've been sorting through my Unibus
cards (some of which are taken, but others may appear here), but I have

A Penny & Giles 7000D double QIC drive. No idea what that conencts to.
If it's anything like the 7100 single-drive unit I have here, it has
an RS232 interface and is designed for use in data logging systems.
That sounds right.

Hello again.
Before I begin, this is a re-send of a message I sent to cctech, which
didn't get through. So, if there are still plans to keep the cctech
address live, could someone look at this, please.
Anyway, to get to the point:
I have been doing some more digging, mainly in my basement.
Hello Jon,
I didn't realise the power adaptor wasn't in there - sorry!. I'm pretty
certain I have it - it will come to light with more excavation in the
basement...
The battery was a number of nickel alkaline cells (size A? - can't
remember whether NiCd or NIMH) and a little PCB in a
Dear all,
The cost of living crisis means that I can no longer afford to rent the
space to store all my collection. I have therefore decided to give some
stuff away to anyone who will come and collect it.
Some stuff is in a storage container in Wells; the rest is in my
basement between

One "fluid ounce" (volume) of water weighs 1.043 ounces (weight)!
The nit-picker in me would say "you mean mass", except that there's an

I wouldn't let the friend who bought my 11/44 pay even a quarter of

Good evening.
I used to post here a lot; now I mainly lurk, but this subject is one I
feel strongly about...
About every other semester, I would have a student who had been taught
