OMG! I had one of those. I think it cost- like -
$1650, which is probably about $10,000 in today's dollars.
I still have mine, still works, dabbled a little in basic with it. I put in
the extra memory and two 720k drives. Paid $50 for it used.
And the first 386/25. I still have that laying around somewhere, or at
least pieces of it--4 MEGS of RAM-whoo hoo--that was one hell of a
machine. I actually ran Linux on it, for a while, kernel 1.x something,
maybe 1.2, I can't remember exactly. Yup, them were the good ole days.
I've got you all beat. I started on a Cosmac Elf with 256 bytes of static ram,
a hex keypad and 2-digit 7-segment display! An RCA-1802, the best 8 bit cpu
ever built. Composite tv output (40x25), and audio tape storage were also
available. My brothers and I soldered the components onto the motherboard
ourselves.
And I walked to work bare feet in the snow, 5 miles, up hill both ways 8^).
Do you really want to start comparing who has the oldest hardware
sitting around? I think there is a lady on this list that has us all
beat. (Especial after I junked the model 33 teletype last year.)
