What retro-hardware do you have ?

[norecess]

I have :


- a CPC 6128 (CRTC 1) + CPC Booster + RAMCARD 128Kb + HxC Rev B
- a CPC 6128+ (CRTC 3) + MegaFlash + HxC Rev C


And because there is not only CPC in life ..    .. there is also Commodore of course


- an Amiga 600 with 32Mb FAST RAM + 2Mb Chip RAM + ACA630/25 (68030 @ 25Mhz) + Indivision ECS + Flashdrive 4Gb + registered WHDLOAD (lots of fun with this machine ;-)
- a C64 + Chameleon 64 (providing SDCard reading + VGA Output)


Not to mention all these computers are PAL-based (I'm living in North America, remember it's supposed to be NTSC-only here !).


You know what ? I love being a lover of all of retro-computing in 2011 !! Hardware is so incredible nowadays.. it's actually way more interesting (to me at least !) to get into these machines now than it was back in the days...

[TFM]

- some CPC6128
- 6128 Plus
- PCW8256, 8512, 9512
- Genie IIIs (probably one of the fastest Z80 systems officially sold ever, only the next one is as quick...
- PCW16
- LOS25
Well, and a lot of hardware-expansions for the CPC.

[Gryzor]

This would take ages...

-Some gameboys
-MAME arcade cab with a lovely Hantarex monitor
-Vectrex
-Couple of generic Pong machines

...and a ton of others I'm forgetting. Don't even ask for accessories etc!

I'm sure, on top of that, I'm forgetting some systems....    (not counting software, peripherals, etc....)

[MaV]

My list is quite a bit shorter:

3x CPC6128 (CRTC 0)
2x CPC464 (CRTC ?)
1x CPC6128+ - French
2x GT65
1x CM14 (colour monitor for the plus)

2x PCW8256

1x NC100
1x Z88

2x Amiga 500
1x Amiga 600HD

2x C64C
1x C64 (bread box)
1x C128D (metal case)

2x Gameboy
1x Gameboy Color
1x NES
1x GBA SP
1x GBA micro

1x Dreamcast (just acquired)

1x GP2x (F100)
1x Dingoo

and quite a few calculators; most of them TI calcs and an HP.

+ the fitting peripherals (HxC, 1541, ...), and quite a few games, but nothing out of the extraordinary I guess.

Save for a few further game consoles and a Spectrum, I'll most probably leave it at that. For one, I'd like to use them still, instead of just collecting them, and there's only so many you can use. Plus, I'm running out of space fast, since almost all of it is in my room, not in the basement (exception: 1 Joyce and 1 GT65).

[redbox]

Mine's even shorter again...

1 x French 6128 Plus (QWERTY keyboard installed), 3.5" Drive, Side Switch, Bryce DIY Cartridge, Bryce S-Video Modulator, Bryce MegaFlash
1 x English 6128 Plus (AZERTY keyboard installed), 3" Drive
1 x CM14 Plus Colour Monitor
1 x GX4000

Strictly Arnold, still keeping it real

There's more Bryce than Amstrad in your Plus

The DK Lightpen was just a cheap Photo-diode in a pen with a jack plug. you could easily make your own. I still have one somewhere, but my CPCs are all connected to LCD monitors, and the Lightpen doesn't seem to work on them for some strange reason

Wow! This is impressive. I thought I was kind of crazy with my hardware collection, but it's just nothing compared to you


Yeah I did not mention my gaming system collection too: Nec TurboDuo - NeoGeoCD - Dreamcast - Saturn - Genesis+32X+SegaCD - Nomad - GameGear - NES - SNES - Amiga CD32 - MicroGBA - PSP.


A luck I have a dedicated room for that in my house!

Someone had to mention it 

[Gryzor]

LCD monitors, and the Lightpen doesn't seem to work on them for some strange reason

Gotta be those dodgy SCART connectors...

Well ! !

Most of my machines does actually come from planed computer museum. To make a long story short, a local fella was ten times worse than me. Besides computers, he did also collect magazines (doesn't know if it was computer magazines ! !), cameras and weapons. His entire house, garage and an extra building was filled up with his collections. YES, he was married 


His plan was to make the computer museum in connection with the local university (NTNU in Trondheim). They did establish a fast working committee, that's probably still working on the project  When his external storage was sold (8-10 years ago), he had to get rid of his computers stuff. The machines was announced in a Norwegian newsgroup, and I did visit him 3-4 times, and filled up me car every time 


Unfortunately, his machines weren't stored as complete machines. So several of the "exotic" machines are only machines, without PSU, leads and software.
I'm working on the project of completing the machines 


The really sad thing, is that he had even more machines I "now" wanted

Sounds like a treasure trove to me...

[Bryce]

95% of all 8-Bit machines can be powered using a PC PSU with a simple adapter. The other 5% that need AC or -12V are slightly more difficult, but not impossible.

I guess that's enough evidence. You sure have the longest dic^H^H^H list.

[TFM]

Ok, I forgot PDA600, NC100, NC200 and white colored Tandy version of the NC200, can't remember it's name though.

[robcfg]

Maybe it's the Dreamwriter 200?


I have the Dreamwriter 100,200,325,400 and 450.... Guess who sent the people of MESS the roms for them 

[genesis8]

Hmm, just from memory : msx2, oric 1, oric atmos, too many CPC keyboards (1 full CPC+ but only 2 CPC screens), too many things about Amstrad CPC, PDA600, Notepad NC100, 150 and 200, C128D,  SNES, sega saturn, dreamcast, gamecube, xbox1, xbox360 (6 months ago only), PS3, DS light (given to my sister), DSi XL, 3DS, PSP1000 and 3000, too many console games bought and so few time to play them...

I fear to check all my room, the list could be too long for one forum message o.O

Fear me I am a geek (not a nerd though) !

[TFM]

Maybe it's the Dreamwriter 200?

Hehehe, they owe you one ;-)
Great collection :-)

Bufff,i lost the most part of my retro hardware in my first independence  , the victims were my A500 030 50Mhz, A1200 Blizzard 030 50Mhz, CD32, MSX2 Philips 8245, ZX +3, ZX +2A, 464 CRTC 0, 6128 CRTC 1, 6128+.

Lucky me, i didn't lost my consoles  :

.- Gameboy Classic, Colour and Advanced, all with writables cartridges and cables for developing.

.- Gamecube with chip for developing.

.- Dreamcast with the broadband adaptor, for developing too (but mainly use this days for BorderDown , i love this game  )

What i don't find is my old PSX with Action Replay/Caetla for developing, of course xDDD

But in computers i only have an Atari 800XL (in not a good state, but it's my little Amiga ) and two 6128s (CRTC 2 y 4) courtesy of CPCManiaco.

Borderdown uses it?

The black case version? I love that design
