you have. Please list OS and processor type.

While I have quite a few Macs and Apples, I think most of my collection
is x86 based. I'll start with the newer ones then delve a bit into my
collection a bit:
AMD Athlon 2500/1 gig ram/2x80 gig drives in raid 0 and a new 16xSamsung
dvd writer, Windows ME
three Celerons for the kids, 466/700/700 with 98 in one and the others
use ME
a very cool and quick Toshiba 2615 laptop using ME, but with a DVD drive
that is so smooth it is hard to believe it's a Celeron 466 with 128 ram.
All of the above are networked with my g3/333 and my two 3400cs.
My collection of oldies includes such unique items as a Toshiba 6066c
semi-laptop with a DX2-66 486 chip and 98 as an os. Full size scsi CD
drive/ IDE hard drive (3.5 inch) but no battery. Nice color screen.
Gridcase 1520 286 - unknown OS - same unit as used in Aliens. It's a
magnesium laptop, very solid, made for military use.
A NeXT box, several PCjrs, several PS2 models from IBM both laptops and
desktops as well as a huge server unit , several Commodore
128s/64s/286s/ as well as a KIM 1, Tandys of many descriptions including
the small TRS80 and a couple of laptops with integral printers, several
Apple clones including a Laser 128 as well as a "Decider" which is in
perfect condition but I know nothing about it other than it's an Apple
II clone, an Orange Micro, two Franklin Aces, several Hyperions which
were 8088 based and were sold before the Compaq portable. The Hyperions
were made and sold in Canada (some were later made in Houston) and the
company had Michael Copeland on board before he decided to run and ruin
Corel, an Alextel which is 8088 based as I recall and was a forerunner
of the Internet here in Canada. You could subscribe to data from Bell
and play games and check stocks/scores etc. The phone still works as
does the screen but the subscription service is long gone. Ran around
1981 or just a bit later. Small unit with a 9 inch screen and flipdown
keyboard/touchpad.
If anyone here collects old computers, they may want to have their names
added to the collector's list that I maintain in two places, one as a
link from my geocities home page and the other as a geocities site on
it's own. Tip : If you look up 'antique computers' on google, my site
pops up in the fifth and sixth spot. Email me at
[EMAIL PROTECTED] if you want to be added to the list, DON'T
reply to this email please. The list has some of the 'big' names in
computer collecting on it so you'll be in pretty heady company if you
decide to join. Hey, it's free too. Only serious collectors who are
willing to perform rescues of equipment need apply! Thanks.
