Welcome to the Retro Computers Wiki (Started Apr 2014)

BBC

This Wiki shows (off) my collection of computers from the 1980's and early 90's and my experience of programming them.

Please feel free to add your own programming experiences.

As this Wiki is not about the hardware, only the basic specification of the machines are given with links to sites where you can get much more detail. However, If I have anything interesting to write I will.

PS - Some of the pictures are a bit crabby as my photographic skills are sub-optimal; but I will replace the worst ones eventually!
