Does anyone happen to have a collection of old computers like BBC micros, Commodore 64, ZX Spectrum, ZX 81, etc? My g/f wants to photograph them for a book being published for the Reader's Digest as well as an annual price guide for lunatics that collect things.
The British Computer Museum at Bletchley Park have quite a good collection of old personal computer equipment including, I think, all of the above.
Shevek wrote about his collection:
(..)This includes most of the Sinclairs including two unique modded QLs (1983, 32 bit, 1Mb+ of RAM, wahey), a C64, a YD8100 (the only one still existing, I think, but it's 1970 so predates your target), Apple II, an Electron, some incomplete Apple III stuff, an Atari, some Amigas, a CPC6128, and if I get my finger out, Dragons, BBCs, a 380Z, Arcs, etc. I also have an EISA system, some Suns, HPs, an RS6K, and probably access to a Dec3k, an Indy, and erm. Some NCD stuff and if I'm lucky some random 68Ks.(...)
So I'm inclined to conclude that Shevek lives at the British Computer Museum... ;-)
