Hi Jamse...

KSC, Power PC Board, inserted into my A500 expansion slot.
It is a HW PC emulator using an NEC V30. Almost an 80186. ;o)
It runs MS-DOS 6.22 and Windows 3.0 in REAL mode.

Spectrum 48K bungy KB.
(Oldest unit I ever owned was a Sharp MZ80K.)
My A1200(HD) is circa 1993 and is up and running 24/7 from around early 1996. (Just
relised that is now 17 years, except for power cuts of course... <SHOCK>
It has been the bedrock of my AMIGA development stuff.
My earliest Linux flavour was YGGDRASIL Fall 1995 edition, never ever got it working.
