zyzygy surely.

I ported ISIS-II to a 1MHz Z-80 based 'home computer' of my own design, built from components.

2x 8" drives. PSU you could weld with. 16k RAM, 16k EPROM.
Weighed a ton.
Best bit was when I wired the RAM board so it would write to RAM with bits 0-7 but read bits 7-0 i.e transposed MSB to LSB. Oh how I laughed....

[RSoles]

I think there's a couple of 8" drives in the shed too...

...just preparing for CP/M to make a comeback. Or was it Intel ISIS-II?

Zzzzzzzzzymotic.

[TimberWolf]

Nah! it was Zymotic

Zzzzzzzzz.

In case you didn't make it to the end, it was the aardvark that did it.

I have several English dictionaries too!

Started to read them, but the plots were all the same

Last time I played the I'm-sadder-than-you game at work, I played my "I still have my flowchart stencil" card. Everyone else in the room opened their desk drawer and pulled out theirs.

[Diver]

Dunno.

I hope they aren't under the leaky bit of the roof.

I've got several boxes...

Why does that post make me feel so uncomfortable

[darmstadt]

I've got loads of those old IBM green cards (and other colours) including such ones as IBM 360 Assembler registers (and the training manual in German,) hexadecimal translation, PROFS users and a load of crap in my office but occasionally something comes in useful

I've got an 8" floppy

Call Pfizer...

[RSoles]

I've got a board with core memory on it.
Hand-crafted little magnetic cores threaded together with wires.

Damn, I vowed not to keep getting involved in these sadder-than-you threads.

Until a couple of years ago, I still had an old IBM system 36 in the cellar at home - it kept the house warm.

Took 7 of us to get the bugger out of the house.

Still have an 8" floppy drive in the attic....
