Re: What was your first computer?


My first 'system' was an Ohio Scientific motherboard where you had to load everything with tape. My first real system was an Ithaca Intersystems S-100 with Z80 CPU, 64K of main memory, two 8.5" (1.2 Mb) floppies and CPM for an operating system. It was advanced for the time with 256Kb of buffer memory. I still have it and boot it up periodically.
