Hi
Amstrad 1512 with the 2 floppy drives but no hard disk. How many hours did I spend trying to make progs run with only 512k of ram! Added a 32 meg ( wow ) hard card later. However all that time did teach me how a computer works.
Still have all the gear and the origional floppy discs boked up. When I finally put it to bed it all still worked - it just took all day ( sometimes literaslly ) to do anything.
Regards
Trev
