BBC-B 1MHz, upgraded the RAM to 32Meg... oops I mean K, and added the disc
filing system chip. I think it was a bit too much of an upgrade though, it
overheated and got fuzzy lines on the screen if played for too long ;-)

The instability was probably due to it being a cheap clone of the
BBC-B, the real ones were a staggering 2Mhz! ;-)

Atari 256k. Wanted the 512 but it was 400 dollars more.219 dollar plug in
floppy drive upgrade was out of the question. Could play a cool tank game.
Never was able to find it again, I wish I could. I remember the smell in the
store when I bought it....excitement!

A Tandy-1000 EX, 256K mem., no hard drive, 1 low density 5 1/4 floppy.
Still have it, still works, although it doesn't do Windows very well

Same here. Boy, was I in heaven when they made that multi-port hookup and
sound effects cartridge. I also liked the music emulation cartridge. You
could make some kick-ass music with that thing.
