Hi Everyone,
I've been lurking around the list and on the archives now since around
1997. But since this is my first post, I figure I still qualify as NEW!
Introduction:
My name is Bryan Blackburn, I live in the great southwest of the USA,
and I've been collecting vintage microcomputers since they were cutting
edge. I have been repairing and restoring electronic equipment for more
than thirty years now as my hobby and profession. My main area of
expertise is general electronics and RF communications, I dabble a bit
in Ham radio, and I'm fast on the draw with a soldering iron!
A short list of my collection is as follows, with comments:
Mark 8 Minicomputer - fully restored and pretty.
Multiple computers from The Digital Group, Z80, 6800 - I can just
about draw the schematics for these from memory, and I could build one
in the dark.
Kim-1 - Serves as my wall clock.
Home built S-100 machine - Never turned it on, don't know anything
about it.
PDP-11/?? - Seems to work(?) in storage, don't know much about.
Vintage (1977ish) homebuilt Apple-1 - I built this from plans by Woz,
just to say I did it, then promptly stole most of the chips for other
projects.
ADM-3A -With lowercase option
ASR-33 - Restored, works great.
ASR-32 -Terrible shape, paid too much for it, no regrets!
To see pics of some of these, take a look at my web site:
