Oric 1
Amstrad CPC464, 6128+

CD32 and CDTV don't count as they don't ship with a keyboard in their default package

=P
 
You haven't included the Commodore C16 and/or +4
Also, I have several VIA Epia PCs running at clock speeds similar to Intel P3s, so have put them in that category.

My bad, C16/+4 is at the bottom of the list.
 
An Amstrad Gx4000 is more a console but I have one and it's on the list so included it in my vote.

About 8 PCs ranging from MS-DOS based 386 up to a QUAD Core Linux box.
 
First, this should be broken down into 2 polls, North America, and Europe,
as 90% of these computers have never been seen in North America.
Second "TRS-80" is like saying IBM, it is a whole line of computers, ranging from the Z80 based model 1 to the CoCo series to the "Tandy 1000+" line of computers (probably 80 to 100 different models). Because up until 1992 Tandy- Radio Shack was the Second largest computer seller in the US. Many, Many people's first computer was the low- cost Tandy 1000 line.
 
Could Spectravideo 318/328 be added? Also forgot to tick "Other" as I didn't remember my 328. :oops:
 
Forgot to add my PC rigs to the poll :Doh:

But here goes mine:

Amiga A4000D (+ CS MKII 060@66, PicassoIV, X-surf & Toccata).

Amiga 500 (not an standalone one but got enough spare parts, except a working keyboard, to build one :lol:).

Commodore C64-C (barely used due to lack of time)

Sony MSX F700 (an MSX2, also barely used due to lack of time)

Dell optiplex GX520 P4 HT 3.8Ghz, My main PC rig now, yep I run cheap on the pc side. :p

Dell optiplex GX200 (former P3@800Mhz, updated to P3 1.4Ghz), used for home server duties.

Unbranded AMD K6-2@500 Mhz (was my main PC rig time ago now semi-dismantled and no longer used).

And the missus' laptop, a humble Dell inspiron i3

and that's all :)
 
Wheres the SAM/AmigaOne/Nextgen Amiga option?
 
Currently (those that are 100%)
2-A1000
1-A500
1-A4000D
512 AtariSTFM
1040 Atari STE
Tandy 2500
Tandy MMPC 20
C64C
Voodoo Laptop (AMD 3200)
Macintosh (original)
Power Mac G5 Dual 1.8 (June 2004)
Macbook (mid 2009)
Imac (mid 2011)
 
I guess were not including consoles in this? My collection, I just realised is extremely poor when you take the consoles away. :lol:

That a very good point my friend, if you can give me a list of systems to add then I shall add them =D

Could Spectravideo 318/328 be added? Also forgot to tick "Other" as I didn't remember my 328. :oops:

Sadly this is an MSX - yes it is... same chipset 'n everything =D

Since the only difference between an MSX and MSX II is actually memory they are under one category.

Added mine - no no place on Survey for my humble Mattel Aquarious :whistle:

that shall be added shortly.

Wheres the SAM/AmigaOne/Nextgen Amiga option?

Thats totaly mikes fault for forgetting to remind me not to forget, and we both forgot.... so its mikes fault ;)

Ha! console lover!

to be fair.... I am missing a fair few additions to the list as well !

To be fair, most Tandy 1000 models were simply XT/AT class IBM clones (mostly 8086/88 and 286/386 machines running DOS/Early Windows(2.x/3.0)).

I briefly had a Tandy 1000TL, which was simply a 286 'clone' with built in Herc graphics and a 720k 3.5" floppy drive.

no Coleco ADAM either, every bit as poor as the Aquarius :P


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tandy_1000#Tandy_1000_SL.2C_SL.2F2.2C_TL.2C_TL.2F2.2C_TL.2F3

if you add Tandy IBM 'clones' you might as well add ACE and LASER Apple II clones as well....

According to Wikipedia, the Spectravideo did claim to be MSX compatible, but it wasn't. They didn't adhere to the standard until the 728.

And you are of course correct that the MSX and MSX2 are the same, apart from the extra RAM, Video Chip, Sound chip and internal floppy drive.
But then, there is world of difference between the 500 and 500+. ;)
