Apart from dad's Atari (used mostly for arcade games), the Commodore CBM was the first computer I used. It looked pretty much like this, but lacked the cassettes. The software was on 5.25 inch floppies and the memory was so limited the operating system used overlays to load bits of the program while storing other bits. Floppy A was the programme disk and floppy B was the data disk.

After removing all the unwanted PCBs and the monitor, I was left with the components I wanted. The first thing I noticed was that there were several very large holes in the back and side of the case, presumably for connecting peripherals.
