This page last updated on 02AUG00

These pages are dedicated to my growing collection of relic computing equipment. Collecting old computers that most others view as to old to be of any use is a hobby of mine. Some of these machines are actively being used, others are just part of my collection.

The vast majority of the computers in my collection are fully functional, but I'm rapidly gaining a good percentage that need some part or another to work. Often the necessary part is a power supply, a lot of the old computers had separate power supplies that weren't built into the computer, and in many cases these have become separated from thier system. In some cases I have more than one of a particular model, but I only mention duplicates when there is a definite difference in the two.

In the cases where I've got an entry for a particular computer system you will often find a collection of links at the end of the page that will connect you to various resources for that particular computer. I'm trying to have a minimum of one picture per system, but in a lot of cases I don't have pictures with the discription, yet. I do finally have photographs of a majority of the systems so now it becomes a question of finding time to scan them in, and prep them.

If you have an older system that you no longer want, especially if it is something other than an IBM PC Clone, please do not throw it away. I am always interested in new additions, as are many other people around the world.

These old machines are an important part of our history that should be saved. The two most important inventions of the 20th Century are probably the Airplane and the Personal Computer!
