Heath / Zenith S100 system. It's got a 1 Mhz 8080 (maybe a Z80, I forget). CPM/M 2.2 for the operating system and it still runs Wordstar, SuperCalc, and MBasic applications through a Televideo 920 terminal.

It's connected to a Diablo 630 (metal daisy) via RS232.

I converted everything over to 5.25" floppies (from 8") to conserve desk space.

I got rid of my old systems (ISAI 8080 is in a computer museum in Boston) some time ago, but kept this one because it was a gift fomr one of my original customers.

FWIW

I still have a Commodore 64 with a .9mhz CPU. I wish I still had all my goodies like ram expansions, Lt. Kernal hard drive, etc.

Re: Your CompuAdd 286. I have one MARKED 286 on the front of it, but under the hood it's sporting an AMD 386SXL. Is this a fluke/upgraded box, or did they do somthing stupid?

And the answer to the question is...

TRS-80 (I think that's still kickin' around somewhere)
Tandy 1000TL
Compuadd 286 (386SXL)
