RePC, a computer equipment recycler in Seattle, has a nerd museum. They
got my ATR 8000, a disk drive controller for the Atari which became a
stand-alone CPM computer if you hooked a terminal to it. They didn't
care that it wasn't working.
The whole idea of digital imaging has come a long way since 1985. What
could you have done with those M8 images on an Atari 400?

I paid $2,500 for the first IBM PC hard drive delivered here...10MB...in a
separate case, the size of the PC, with separate power supply....wondering
if we should migrate from VisiCalc to Lotus 123. I should have kept all
that stuff. Maybe there will be a nerd museum someday.
