Tatung Einstein - 1984 and packing a disk drive. Not a common feature for home computers, especially in the UK.

Commodore 16; the oddball underdog of the 8-bit era. Wedged between the VIC-20 and the C64, it came with just 16KB, a 7501 CPU, and a colour palette far fancier than its station in life. computermuseum computer commodore commodore16

ABC-26; a sci-fi-looking Japanese workstation from 1982 that could juggle eight programs at once. Powered by a Z80A at 4MHz with 64KB of RAM; running MP/M and DOSKET; and happy in MBASIC, CBASIC, Pascal, COBOL, Fortran and assembler.

80s micros were so fleeting, yet made such an impact. The QL’s OS actually had multitasking; you could run multiple jobs while SuperBASIC handled the foreground. For a 1984 home-business machine, that was unusually advanced.

Owning an Amiga was like owning a Betamax. You knew it was better, but no one cared.

A BBC Micro… that wasn’t a BBC Micro? Meet The Dolphin. Built by Cumana in the mid-1980s, it offered the same feel and compatibility, without the price.

The Amiga 1000's keyboard garage is a source of constant joy in my life.
