GREAT WEBSITE! I been collecting vintage computers since the early 80's but now I am retiring to a smaller home and need to down size my massive Vintage Computer and Game Console collection.

I'm glad to have come today to your site. Keep it up. I also love classic stuff.

Great site.. Started by selling off some of my old systems (Trade Me)- have ended up getting fired up again over System 80 and will set up my 1983 Blue Label system again. They were and still are outstanding computers. In the process I have found a fix for my system which had developed a wavy screen display.PS Hope you get the EPROMS

Just wanted to thank you for taking the time and effort for this amazing machine. I have very fond memories of playing all kinds of games into the wee hours and I miss them as the modern ones someone don't have the same magic. Good on ya mate! Keep it up!

Reading your blog is a real pleasure :)

As an Atari 8 bit collector am very impressed with your collection

HI,I WON A COMPETITION TO NAME THE MAG.
BITS & BYTES, MEMORIES!!!
I JUST FELL OVER THE SITE ,ITS GREAT

Thanks for the System 80 material. Its like being a kid again! Now if only I didn't get a bandwidth exceeded message when trying to download the Hellfire Warrior manual.

Such a wicked website, its good to see fellow kiwis rebuilding old machines.

Although i wasent around in the 80s it is still danm interesting (Mind the pun)

keep up the awesume work bro.

Thank you for the trip down memory lane. Your site is a work of art that reflects the effort. Thanks!

Very interesting site, glad I stumbled on it. I'll be back

A great site. In the same year I began high school, so did my computer programming learning begin. Self taught myself Z80 assembler, became familiar with the -80 memory map etc. imported an Alpha stick 80 and had fun with all the programs of the day.
The knowledge I got from those early systems was priceless and set me up for a degree and career in information systems and related dispiplines. Z80 machine code skills made it easy to translate skills to later processors and PIC chips etc.

Great site. It has been 6 months since I checked in. Appreciate that you are still developing it. It is getting better and better!

What a great trip down memory lane - thanks for putting the site together. Loved it.

Thanks for such a great site. Helped me revive a Blue Label System 80 that I have installed a 64K upgrade on.
Again, thanks for the great site. This computer was my first and meant a lot to me. Spent many a night playing games and writing programs on it. I have many good memories about it.

Cheers, Geoff

What a great web site, I enjoyed the evening looking through the collection and all the reading there is about these wonderful old computers.
Keep up the great work!!!

You have a very nice web site for vintage computers. I have a number of them and enjoy using them including my TRS-80 Model I.

I worked on the design team and have seveal of the crude SLT mock-ups, and then some more advanced pre-prod unit...

Hi Terry,

I'm pleased to see such a nice collection of infos about my very first computer, the Video Genie I from TCS. I still have mine (heavily modified and supposedly in non working order).

You mention the Genie III and IIIs. Since I was working on GDOS extensions for TCS, I do have both. The disk controller on my III has failed, but the IIIs is still working. I only need a reliable link to my PC to save all my disks (with original source code for what TCS was delivering.)

Greetings
Marcus

Dear Terry Stewart,

I'm getting a Radio Shack TRS-80 Model 1 microcomputer for Christmas. I want to eventually increase the internal RAM memory size of the Model 1 keyboard from 4K to 48 or 64K, whichever is possible.

Could you please send me some regular Radio Shack Model 1 type cassette data tapes with software programs, arcade and applications, on them to me at 1 Wilson Street, Barre Town, Vermont 05641. Thank you.
