> 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

> 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!
