Amiga 500 and Atari ST as well. I am trying to keep myself away from Amiga 500. Have lost the software looong time ago (bad decision to throw the disks away)."

"True, in the foreground. An Archimedes, Amiga 500Plus, Atari 520STe and Sinclair QL, on the left there's an Amiga A3000 and A1000. These are interesting reference 680x0 systems and an early system using ARM.
There's also 2 Apple ][s.…"

My Mac Collecting
This was is based on an article I did for my local Mac user group (WAMUG - Wessex Apple Mac User Group) a few years ago:
What a cruel end to a faithful piece of hardworking equipment which you have spent so many hours of pleasure with. Luckily, in the past I’ve been able to be a conduit to passing on these machines to people unable to afford a computer of their own. Over 40 Macs have been passed on this way, but what about the machines which are becoming too old to meet a basic need… Continue

MacMan said… - You bought the 500 and 190 on eBay? I saw those the other day - you definitely got a good bargain there, especially since the 500 apparantly has a PPC upgrade. They should be good machines once kitted out with hard drives, though finding a SCSI one for the 500 may be a problem. The 190 on the other hand has an IDE interface making life much easier - you could even use a compact flash card with a CF to IDE adaptor, or a PCMCIA compact flash adaptor. That seller had some quite good stuff listed - I bought the Farallon iPrint Localtalk to Ethernet adaptor, also for 99p.

Scott said… - Got me a few macs since we talked last. Got a TAM, Color Classic, Graphics Tablet. working on striking a deal on a portable (1989). Will lay off after that for a few weeks.
BTW- is there a collectors group here?

- Thanks. Where do you find the most hare-core old Mac machine collectors elsewhere on the web? Any one place stand out in your mind?
