Found my first computer this week.

Nascom 1 (1978 ish) built into a wind up gramaphone case, swappable roms (tiny basic and a monitor IIRC) space for a Phillips EL3302 cassette player (that i also have some where) also found my software on tape.

Really need to archive those 馃槉

Z80 at 4Mhz , 2KB onboard 1KB video, 1K user. 4K expansion (8x 2114's)

@Extelec

That's wonderful, thanks for posting. I still have my Nascom II, lodged (not bolted down) in a wooden fruit box.

Had a lot of fun designing, building add-ons, and even selling code on tape. Got me my dream job.

Anyone remember Compware / ASCROLL or my mate's Futura Software custom character ROMs? We blew those in my bedsit using my N2 and a self built/programmed programmer.

Amazing times.
