One of my hobbies is collecting retro-computers, focusing on computers made by Atari. I have currently have eleven different Atari-models, three from Commodore and one other model in my collection.

 

The Atari TT was Atari's flagship computer, boasting with a 32MHz 68030 CPU. When I learned about it I always dreamt of owning one, but back then there was just no way I could afford one.

 

But despite moving on to PC the dream was always there to one day own an Atari TT. And in the beginning of 2012, I was finally able to lay my hands on one on Ebay from Germany. When checking it more carefully it turns out it was sold on Ebay from Austria a couple of months earlier. It was then equipped with an extra graphics card and that owner had moved the two extra serial ports to the case, that's how I recognised it.

 

To my absolute horror it developed some bad hardware errors after a week, crashing all the time and refusing to boot, but luckily it turns out that since this is a relatively early model, most chips are in sockets, so all I needed to do was to push down on some chips to make it work again. But since then I'm really careful about not moving it about too much.

 

I've got 16MB of TT-RAm for it now, replaced the cooling fan and the clock battery. One of these days I plan to retro-bright the case as well.

Finally all hooked up.

"Ordinary audio cassettes cannot be used, they are not of sufficient quality to reliably store computer data.

 

Coleco sold high quality tapes specifically made for the Adam, capable of withstanding the high-speed 20 ips (inches per second) read/write and 80 ips rewind speeds.

 

SmartBASIC is one of many applications and games available on "Adam High Speed Digital Data Pack".

 

The Adam also has a cartridge slot on top to accept and play all ColecoVision game cartridges. "

Back where I once begun.

 

The Commodore 64 was my second computer after a Commodore VIC 20. Me and my brother had one for five years or so, before I got an Atari 520STfm. Many great memories with this machine.
