Full cassette box inlay card for "The Diabolical Tower", an adventure game for the 48K Oric 1 or Oric Atmos. It was produced by the French software company No Man's Land and released in 1984. The authors were Laurent Larbalette and Ann Fournier.
The CP-200S was the second-generation Sinclair ZX-81-compatible computer made by Brazilian company Prológica
The Dragon 32 is running a game, from ROM cartridge, that's just like Frogger but upside-down, and featuring trains instead of traffic and logs. Quite a few Dragon games require joysticks, which I don't have. But I do have a plan to modify some old PC joysticks to work with the Dragon.
The MessagePad was the first series of personal digital assistant devices developed by Apple Computer (now Apple Inc.) for the Newton platform in 1993. Some electronic engineering and the manufacture of Apple's MessagePad devices was done in Japan by the Sharp Corporation. The devices were based on the ARM 610 RISC processor and all featured handwriting recognition software and were developed and marketed by Apple. The devices ran the Newton OS.

Retrocomputing (a portmanteau of retro and computing) is the use of early computer hardware and software today. Retrocomputing is usually classed as a hobby and recreation rather than a practical application of technology; enthusiasts often collect rare and valuable hardware and software for sentimental reasons. However some do make use of it.[1] Retrocomputing often gets its start when a computer user realizes that expensive fantasy systems like IBM Mainframes, DEC Superminis, SGI workstations and Cray Supercomputers have become affordable on the used computer market, usually in a relatively short time after the computers' era of use.

Con il termine retrocomputing si indica una attività di "archeologia informatica" che consiste nel reperire, specialmente a costi minimi, computer di vecchie generazioni, che hanno rappresentato fasi importanti dell'evoluzione tecnologica, ripararli se sono danneggiati, metterli nuovamente in funzione e preservarli.

CLOAD"" - those were the days!
My home made Covox Speech Thing Digital-to-Analog LPT (parallel port) stereo sound card. Fairly easy to build. The sound is not perfect but it plays stereo, 44kHz!
The observatory clock complete with 30 year old nixie tubes.
There was a UTC clock and a sidereal clock, both driven by quite accurate temperature controlled crystals.
The tubes disappeared in early 2009 when the interdata model 70 was decommissioned - the new computer doesn't know how to drive them, and we use a GPS clock now. I've taken the nixie tube javascript clock and hacked it up with photos of these (and the nimos we had in the observatory clock), and they are now on the controlroom mimic. (the javascript clock part of the mimick looks like this).
