The same cable , this is it for connections between the printer and the main unit. This connector transfers power and data from/to the Printer.
Crap in, crap out it what I say!

Nice collection of machines here. Sadly, I own none of these. I would like the RM 380Z and the Mits Altair.

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 Luxor ABC80 was the first computer I ever saw live, this was sometime in 1981 - 1982.
The ABC80 is a Swedish made Z80-based computer from the late 70ies, early 80ies. It had simple graphics based on the same chip that was used for Tele-text TV's at the time, so the graphics capabilities was quite limited and only in monochrome. The sound-capabilities were also quite limited. On the other hand it had a quite fast BASIC interpretor, much faster than most other on the market from this time.
A friends father worked as a school teacher and he brought home an ABC80 with tape station and floppy drives during a school break or over a weekend. I remember that I was totally amazed by what I saw. He had at least two games for it that I remember, one that was a Pacman-clone called "GLIPP" and another Break-out clone.
The ABC80 was pretty much the standard computer in most schools in Sweden during the early eighties, they were very robust. I bought mine from the school I went to when they eventually upgraded them for something newer. They came with a lovely Keytronics keyboard, and I have changed the keytops from another Keytronics keyboard that belongs to a dumb serial terminal.
This piece of software came with a Power Mac i aquired the other week, Check out the price label!

Recently, I found the time to ‘clean up’ (it's still dirty. It's always dirty!), maintain and test the Cambridge Z88.
This is Sir Clive Sinclair's first computer after Sinclair Research was bought by Amstrad. He didn't have the right to use his name in the company name, hence ‘Cambridge’. But it's a Sinclair through and through, down to the horrible power supply and ‘novel’ keyboard. This one isn't the worst keyboard I've used, but it does have a knack for collecting all the dust in a five-mile radius. It also has the classic Sinclair cock-up: the expansion connector caused more trouble than it was worth, so in newer versions of the computer (mine included) the opening is blocked. The edge connector is still there on the board, of course.
But it was an interesting design with very interesting software and some unusual features. It has 32K of built-in RAM but takes up to 3MB of various types of memory cartridges (static RAM, flash RAM, and EPROM cards—there was no built-in storage). It also has the only implementation of BBC Basic for the Z80 I'm aware of.
I actually used this little notebook as recently as 2003 or 2004 when I switched to a Palm device.
