Welcome! Yes, I'm collecting old computers! The progress in the computer industry is so lightning fast that computers will very quick become museum items. I try to collect some milestones and classical computers. For example the first PC, the first portable, the first true laptop and so on. I want all my computers to be in original shape, unmodified and in working condition. It is also fine if original OS, manuals and software are included. As the museum is located in Sweden I have a special focus on Swedish computers.

New Arrival in the Museum...  Sinclair ZX80 (UK 1980
- 1981)The Sinclair ZX80 was a home computer brought to market in 1980 by Sinclair Research of Cambridge, England. It was notable for being the first computer available in the United Kingdom for under a hundred pounds (a price tag of £99.95, to be exact). It was available in kit form, where purchasers had to assemble and solder it together, and as a ready-built version at a slightly higher cost for those without the skill or inclination to build their own unit. The ZX80 was very popular straight away, and for some time there was a waiting list of several months for either version of the machine. The machine was designed around a Z80 central processing unit with a clock speed of 3.25 MHz and was equipped with 1 KB of static RAM and 4 KB of read-only memory containing the Sinclair BASIC programming language, editor, and operating system. The ZX80 was replaced by the ZX81 in 1981. Clich here for big picture. Thanks to Tomas Ohlson for the donation. On my wish list:
If you feel like you have something lying around that would fit in to my collection, please mail me to see if you can become a donator to my museum! Please remember that Rune's PC-Museum is located in Sweden! Rune
