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.
I came along my Atari Falcon on Sweden's biggest online flea-market "Blocket" in 2011. Someone was selling an Atari Falcon with a 1 GB SCSI-harddrive, Cubase Audio and the Steinberg FDI, a unit that allows you to record sound directly to hard disk with the Falcon. Not many computers could do this back in the beginning of the 1990ies when the Falcon came, and those that could costed a fortune compared to the Falcon. I got all this for a real bargain price.
Before I bought this one I had put away my other Ataris in a storage room, and I guess I never really thought I'd ever own any of the computers I had dreamt of back in the 1990ies when I was a die-hard Atari fan. But buying this computer I realised that I now could buy all these computers that I dreamt of back then. So it is in reality the foundation of my current collection of retro computers.
It was in really excellent condition when I bought it. It even has the protecting plastic film over the logotype still. Since the guy I bought it from had used it for running Cubase Audio it had the internal hard disk removed, so I got a IDE-CF adapter for it. The clock battery was dead and the original fan was noisy so I also replaced these parts, and I also got a memory upgrade for it, a whopping 14 MB.
The UPURS suite provides a set of tools for the transfer of data to and from the BBC Micro series of computers using a high speed serial link.
The high speed serial link is implemented using a custom cable designed to connect to the BBC Micro computers’ User Port, presenting a standard 9-pin serial plug to the external system.

The IFEL ROM/RAM Cartridge for Acorn BBC Master is a cartridge that fits into an available cartridge slot on the Acorn BBC Master and provides 8 selectable ROM images making them available to the computer in banks of 2.
The two switches on the far left of the board are used to select the different ROM/RAM banks available having four possible combinations.
The third switch from the left marked as TWP provides a TOTAL WRITE PROTECT feature protecting any Sideways RAM banks being overwritten.
The fourth switch along is marked as PWP and provides a PARTIAL WRITE PROTECT by only write protecting the odd numbered Sideways RAM banks.
The fifth switch, marked INH, inhibits the RAM on the board from being read or written. This is useful if a ROM has become corrupt or is faulty and the Master has locked up due to the corruption or fault.
The final switch on the right hand side of the board is then used to disable or enable the ROM socket pictured below the switch. When a ROM or EPROM is fitted, it can therefore be turned on and off as required.

EasyFlash is a cartridge for the C64 expansion port. In contrast to traditional cartridges, this one can be programmed directly from the C64.

8BASIC (C) is a BASIC interpreter developed by manufacturer G.G in 2010 for the homemade Z80/AM95 8 bit NANO COMPUTER.
Due to the strong mathematical support of the AM9511 processor, the interpreter offers floating-point arithmetic and is just hold in 3KB of EPROM memory.
The most interesting feature of the 8BASIC is that each statement is eight characters fixed-length, which exactly fits the computer's LED display.
The Nintendo NAS contains the following hardware. (Don't worry - this NES had a dodgy CPU and wasnt working. No NESs were hardmed)
CV860A Motherboard with onboard Via Eden C3 at 800Mhz
512 Mb RAM
400Gb 3.5″ IDE Hard disk.
3 * 100MB Lan connections
The LEDs on the front panel indicate power, disk activity and LAN activity. The power button turns the NAS on (funny that!) The reset button is not connected.
I’ve not put a CDROM drive inside the unit that utilises the cartridge flap on the front. Ive mounted the hard drive behind it instead.
The plan was to install FreeNAS, but I’ve now decided to put Ubuntu server 9.10 32 bit on instead. I can then put a full Apache/MySQL installation on it and publish its website to the internet. I will put a guest book system on it, so visitors can sigh the log. Keep an eye on nintendonas.retrocomputers.eu . I should have the site live by the new year.

8BASIC (C) is a BASIC interpreter developed by manufacturer G.G in 2010 for the homemade Z80/AM95 8 bit NANO COMPUTER.
STATEMENTS
8BASIC consists of 51 fixed-format statements.
During editing you can change any of the 26 letters of each variable in any of the 51 statements.
1 "IF A>B:N" ; jump to line label N if A is greater than B
2 "IF A=B:N" ; jump to line label N if A is equal to B
3 "IFAB:N" ; jump to line label N if A is not equal to B
4 "IFA>=B:N" ; jump to line label N if A is greater than or equal to B
5 " "N": " ; line label N marking the destination of a GoTo/GoSub statement
6 "GO TO N " ; jump unconditionally to line label N
7 "GO SUB N" ; temporarily jump to line label N and returning to the following line
8 "RETURN " ; jump back to the statement following the original GOSUB statement
9 " END " ; terminate the execution of the program and suspends CPU operation
10 "Z=X+Y " ; add X and Y and assign the result to Z
11 "Z=X-Y " ; subtract Y from X and assign the result to Z
12 "Z=X*Y " ; multiply X and Y and assign the result to Z
13 "Z=X/Y " ; divide X by Y and assign the result to Z
14 "Z=SQR(X)" ; assign to Z the square root of X
15 "Z=INT(X)" ; assign to Z the integer of X
16 "Z=ABS(X)" ; assign to Z the absolute value of X
17 "Z=NEG(X)" ; assign to Z the value of X and change sign of Z
18 "Z=SGN(X)" ; assign to Z the sign function of X
19 "Z= (X)^Y" ; assign to Z the result of X raised to the power of Y
20 "Z=EXP(X)" ; assign to Z the result of e raised to the power of X
A DIL socket cut down to 2x12 pins provided the offset spacer and connection to the CF/RTC/UART daughterboard

SD2IEC is a hardware mass storage device using an SD/MMC card and interfacing with the IEC bus. It is based on the ATmega644 microcontroller from the Atmel AVR microcontroller family. The most prominent use of SD2IEC is emulation/replacement of a Commodore-1541 disk drive for a C64.

The Atari 8-bit family is a series of 8-bit home computers manufactured from 1979 to 1992. All are based on the MOS Technology 6502 CPU and were the first home computers designed with custom coprocessor chips.
Designed to look like a friendly typewriter, the Atari 800 is an expandable system with two easily accessable cartridge ports under a front cover, and a removable top with four expansion slots inside.

Risc PC 700 running Windows 95. Machine has a 486 CPU card in, so this is not emulation!
Please check out my website www.retrocomputers.eu. You will find loads more stuff relating to old computers like the one above.

This adapter allows me to use a IDE disk or CF card on my Sinclair +3.
I've had to install 2 new EPROMS in the machine for it to support IDE devices.
CF card is 128Mb, but as the interface in only 8 bit, only half of the cards capacity is available. Still, 64Mb is a lot of storage for a spectrum!
