+ | The BIOS screen indicates that it dates to 1992. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Was the first 'PC' that I came across when starting work in a science department at a school in 1993. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Has been stored for many years. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Was fully working when last used. It was bootable from the hard drive and as I remember had a DOS based menu to launch a number of DOS programs. Windows 3.0 was also installed. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Unfortunately it does not now want to boot. It starts up as expected and appears to look for a boot disk on the floppy drive. I do not have a setup disk or other boot floppy disks anymore so I get stuck at that point. | ||
+ | The BIOS battery is clearly dead, but is intact and not leaking. | ||
+ | |||
+ | 1024KB RAM, size of hard drive unknown but probably 40MB. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Unusual in that it has the 20MHz CPU, instead of the usual 16MHz one, which I understand is quite rare. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Overall condition is good for year, although there is a little yellowing of the plastic and the top case cover is worn as shown in the photos, but I believe that it is fully functional, if you have the correct setup disk. | ||

+ | That's the one, I used to take with me and watch TV on my way to work at Homebase - Willesden every morning, both tea & lunch breaks and even on my way home from work. Sometimes I play video games or listening to the radio, if nothing interesting on TV. Also, I've take it to Smarttrack Solutions at Tottenham Hale, studying MCSE / MCSA course at the time! | ||

+ | For a few laughs... Sometimes, I've fitted my Game Gear onto my mountain Bike so that I can watch TV while riding my bike (or struck in traffic) at the same time!! I never forget it!! | ||

+ | The Sega Master System was release in the mid-1980's, about the same time as Nintendo's system. It closely followed the released of the NES and had its own gimmicks to attract audiences, like 3-D glasses and a sports trackball to support its large library of sports games. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The Sega Master System was an 8-bit cartridge-based gaming platform and preceded the Sega Genesis. Although superior technically to the Nintendo Entertainment System, Sega lost the marketing war and the Sega Master System was left with few titles. | ||

And my childhood memories / flashbacks coming back to me since after my 1st Sega Master System got damaged, couldn't get it out of my mind.

+ | Now, I'm using my Sony Notebook and Motorola Timeport P7389 Mobile Phone (my second mobile phone, used for both my business and personal contacts - exchanging SIM cards) to receive / send SMS, transfer telephone numbers from my phone to my Motorola Timeport phone and visa versa, as I have the Motorola SmartCELLect 2000 with data cable and software and both have infrared communication (Data & Fax) support, instead of using my landline to the house phone. | ||

Hi everybody, my name is Jonathan Erskine-Nartey. I was born in 1980 and live in London, UK. My first computer was Amstrad CPC 464 with CTM 644 Colour Monitor in 1986 - 6 years of age during that time. Here is my Computer collection so far - please check out my complete Retro Computer & Accessories Collection (work in progress) as shown below and in Flickr. You'll be very amazed with the amount of Amstrad CPC / PCW accessories that I've for my Amstrad CPC / PCW Series.

Acorn BBC Master 128 - 3rd Feb 2022 (94)
This Acorn BBC Master 128 has bought from capoates via eBay auction for a total of £206 with 18 bids bidding to £191 + £15 P&P. For more pics, please check out Acorn BBC Master 128 (94) Album
Bought this a few years back as a project that never came to fruition and with great sadness, I’m letting her go!
Looks like it has a view sheet rom, but I don’t have any instructions for it, plus a Watford electronics ‘Adder’ rom, also, no instructions.
I think the CMOS battery needs replacing ( three AA batteries part of a pack) if you know these machines, you’ll know what that is, easy to do apparently.
The machine runs fine other than that.
I can’t answer any technical questions, anything outside of that, fire away!
I loaded up a couple of games and they worked fine (please note, machine doesn’t come with the games)
No international, UK ONLY.

Notes
Finally, I have found a way of installing ParaDOS ROM in my CPC 664, I tried to use Rombo Rom box & Super Power Rom Card, but both of them didn't work on my CPC 664, and I have a spare ParaDOS ROM, I was planning to sell it on ebay, as no point of keeping ParaDOS ROM only which I have no spare CPC series computers or DDI-1 drives with interfaces to install it on to.
Suddenly, as soon when I woke up with Amstrad CPC computers / accessories lying down on the floor, an idea just popped up in my mind, remembering how I remove the AMSDOS ROM and replace it with ParaDOS ROM in DDI-1 interface. It has a socket for removing and replacing different ROM chips. Then, I was thinking to myself.... Wait a minute! Let's see I can do the same thing on CPC 664.
So, I opened the CPC 664 case by removing seven screws, BINGO!!! It has a DIL Socket 28-Pin (Maplin ref no: BL21X, which it costs now 34p each, previously it was cost about 14p each) with AMSDOS ROM installed top of the socket on the motherboard, similar to DDI-1 interface with the letters "FDD-ROM" next to it. I was very pleased, so I remove the AMSDOS chip with "AMSTRAD 40015 7293-1951 8502AAA" printed on top of the ROM chip, and I replaced it with my spare ParaDOS ROM chip - Thursday 23rd June 2005 09:40.
I closed the case and switched on my CPC 664 to see what happens, it says "PARADOS V1.0. ©1993 QUANTUM Computing" on the screen, it worked perfectly!! So, I switched off my CPC 664 and put all seven screws back on. Now, I can format 792k on each 3.5" discs or loading games from previous 792k formatted disks.
Unfortunately, it won't you run Logo2 on CP/M 2.2 disk, as it gives you an error message: "Retry (R), Ignore (I) or Cancel (C), if you press the "R" key to retry, it causes your computer crashed, as it needed the AMSDOS ROM to load logo2 from AMSDOS, but who cares, as I don't like using CP/M 2.2 or Logo2, anyways.
Update on 30/9/17:
After, I've purchased AMSTRAD CPC ROMBO Rom Box, 5 Roms - BCPL, MAXAM etc 464 & 6128 - 27/8/17 from eBay. As well received TRUE USB GQ-4x4 EEPROM FLASH CHIP PROGRAMMER PRG-055 | USB WILLEM GQ-4X v4.0, ADP-054 16BIT EEPROM 40/42 PIN ZIF ADAPTER V4.0 GQ-3X | GQ-4X | WILLEM | PLCC44 & UV EPROM ERASER | TOOL-007 | UV-C G4T5 | 4 WATT on 30/9/17 from eBay, I've decided to remove older ParaDOS v1.0 ROM chip out and put AMSDOS ROM chip back inside CPC 664 keyboard as well replaced both older ParaDOS & Utopia ROM chips with the latest and modified versions.

Amstrad Mega PC: 9th March 2016 (76)
AMSTRAD MEGA PC 386SX with built-in SEGA Megadrive.
This is a very rare working model - used, in excellent condition.
An Amstrad 386 PC combined with a sega mega drive. Powers up and works fine. This is an ultra rare pc/console, one of the first proper PC's available on the market in the early 1990's. I brought this from new and therefore it's only had one owner.
For the Sega Megadrive, slide the front hatch to transfer from the PC to the Sega Megadrive. When moving the shutter across the Amstrad PC part turns off and the Megadrive part powers up (and vice versa). Comes with the Sonic the Hedgehog cartridge and 2 other games cartridges (Davis Cup World Tour and Mega Games I that includes Super Hang-on, Italia '90 and Columns).
On the PC side, it seems to have lost it's software on the hard disk, but I have all the original 3.5” set up disks and manuals. I can navigate to the Setup and Bios and I'm sure with a bit of effort you can get it working (great for PC enthusiasts). Comes with 60 plus new and used 3.5" disks of various software/games/blanks.

Comments
I've added a spare matching keyboard from my accessories collection to go with it, as well giving it a thorough good clean and finishing it off with 'Pledge' Multi-Surface Polish Clean & Dust spray - looking like new!.
I always wanted one of these GEM hard drives for my Amstrad PCW 8256 but it was very hard to find and get hold of one, it was extremely very expensive back in the days and people can only afford 20MB HDD version. Fortunately, I was very lucky and got the full 40MB version at long last, costing new well over £500 (excluding the PCW monitor) including many 100's of pounds worth of software programs on this hard drive!!

This Dell XPS 720 Tower PC has been purchased from kaizen786 (Amir N.) via eBay and has the following:

But I've upgraded it to the max as possible after I've collected it on Thursday 19th July 2018. Also, the faulty existing motherboard either CN-OP611C-13740-7CG-01A7 or CN-OP611C-13740-81I-00Y1 has been replaced with another Dell P611C Socket LGA775 Motherboard - CN-OP611C-13740-7CG-01UW but didn't got the chance to swap the BIOS Chip around.

Jetway AWRDACPI PC - Sunday 28th August 2005 (50)
My cousin, Gifty was planning to get rid of it, as its very slow for her and the family to use, but I was planning to buy it off from her, since I like very old computers and was planning to buy one for the living room for my parents to use or me using it while I spend time with my parents in the living room, instead she just give it to me as a present since we're family, including a huge 17" colour monitor. This computer has only 300MHz CPU, 64MB RAM, 40GB Hard drive containing Windows 2000 Professional without any soundcard drivers which I give the 40GB hard drive her to keep.
But I remove and replaced with a new X-Power ATX-400TD (400W) power supply, 512MB memory, 550MHz CPU, Maxtor 200GB hard drive containing a multi-boot Operating System facility, with Soundcard drivers and DVD / CD-RW Combo drive. I love this mini tower as it has 4 x 3.5" bays (for 2 hard drives & 2 floppy drives) & 3 x 5.25" bays and 3 x PCI slots.

Packard Bell EXECUTIVE MM 9019 XE base unit - Thurs 15th April 2004 (39)
I have bought this Base Unit from Computer Corner for £28 including p&p. It has the same features as Packard Bell Executive Multi-Media 9021 XE except less memory, hard drive capacity, Windows 95A on original Western Digital Caviar 22100 WDAC22100-00H 2GB AT Compatible Intelligent HDD using Packard Bell Master CD - English Ref No: 6707430501 & FL96 MCD/W'95 BOOTFLOP V1.16 UK Ref No: 6707570701 instead of Windows 95B (OS 2.1), CD-ROM drive and processor speed with Facewall / Pbwall3 set as default background wallpaper instead of Packard Bell house wallpaper. But that's no problem for me, as I can easily upgrade them one by one all by myself.
On the bright side... I'm very happy about this Mini Tower base unit - Designer Tower (Pizza Box / Pizza Tower - Frog), as it has PB683 motherboard with voltage regulator next to the CPU socket, Packard Bell Rocky PnP 28.8 / 33.6 Sound Card and S3 ViRGE Graphics Controller (I love this one and its the best one) exactly the same as 9021 XE. I reckon these Packard Bell computers is the best PC ever, even though this computer is very old, I still reckon this is the best PC ever! No doubt!!! Plus, its my very favourite PC out of the two PCs.

Update on 15/4/23 04:20:
While going through my computer hard drives, according to my one of my old college work from CoWc - PA1 & PA2 Documentation dated 20th January 1997, it was RM Nimbus PC-386/20 used in during Spreadsheets classes with RM Network Logon (RM Net LM 2.0) screen.
X10 PC - Tues 12th Oct 2004 (46)
FINALLY!!! I own one of these beauties after I have spend £50 - £25 + £25 p&p. I always WANTED one of them, since when I started using one of these RM Nimbus Computers at the age of 9 - 1989, in my primary school. No schools or colleges that I've attended would even sell it to me, no matter how much I'm offering them to buy for.
I kept thinking about these computers, even good memories keep coming back to, reminding me even time, when I'm near at any computers. Especially, the adventure games that I've played are "The Lost Frog" & "Merlin's Castle" from Adventures I, "Through the Dragon`s Eye" as well "Pirate Gold" from Maths with a Story 2 after finding out.
Even there some programs which I like them very interesting such as "Paintspa" which is a painting program, "Newsdesk" which is an editing program that allows you to set-up a page to print like a newspaper. I don't care if they say that is very old computer, but to me, its not just an old computer, its very special to me, and its one of these best memories that stuck in me rest of my life, I just can't forgot all about it. And it droves me very crazy and it mean a lot to me!

RM Nimbus PC-386/20 - Thursday 3rd December 2020 (92)
This Vintage RM Nimbus PC-386/20 School Computer was purchased from Boston, United Kingdom via eBay Seller: bcc-148 on 28 Nov, 2020 12:16:07 GMT for £160 out of 11 bids with £10.00 postage - Economy Delivery.
The BIOS screen indicates that it dates to 1992.
Was the first 'PC' that I came across when starting work in a science department at a school in 1993.
Has been stored for many years.
Was fully working when last used. It was bootable from the hard drive and as I remember had a DOS based menu to launch a number of DOS programs. Windows 3.0 was also installed.
Unfortunately it does not now want to boot. It starts up as expected and appears to look for a boot disk on the floppy drive. I do not have a setup disk or other boot floppy disks anymore so I get stuck at that point. The BIOS battery is clearly dead, but is intact and not leaking.
1024KB RAM, size of hard drive unknown but probably 40MB.
Unusual in that it has the 20MHz CPU, instead of the usual 16MHz one, which I understand is quite rare.
Overall condition is good for year, although there is a little yellowing of the plastic and the top case cover is worn as shown in the photos, but I believe that it is fully functional, if you have the correct setup disk.
Base unit only, nothing else included.

I do not have a keyboard or a mouse to test it ... I used an old monitor from work and I can not check it more, so it sells as non-functional ...

Notes
That's the one, I used to take with me and watch TV on my way to work at Homebase - Willesden every morning, both tea & lunch breaks and even on my way home from work. Sometimes I play video games or listening to the radio, if nothing interesting on TV. Also, I've take it to Smarttrack Solutions at Tottenham Hale, studying MCSE / MCSA course at the time!
For a few laughs... Sometimes, I've fitted my Game Gear onto my mountain Bike so that I can watch TV while riding my bike (or struck in traffic) at the same time!! I never forget it!!

Sega Master System
4th February 2000 (17)
The Sega Master System was release in the mid-1980's, about the same time as Nintendo's system. It closely followed the released of the NES and had its own gimmicks to attract audiences, like 3-D glasses and a sports trackball to support its large library of sports games.
The Sega Master System was an 8-bit cartridge-based gaming platform and preceded the Sega Genesis. Although superior technically to the Nintendo Entertainment System, Sega lost the marketing war and the Sega Master System was left with few titles.

Notes
My childhood mystery is finally solved: What is the name of the blue maze game on the screen with interesting music?
If it won't for that Snail Maze game, I won't be achieving my goals in life, that was very first thing which it helped me to motivated myself with keeping on learning and working much harder using it as teaching aid when I was 9 (1989) in my primary school while I was having very learning difficulties / late developer (autism) and during that time I didn't know what's the properly name of that game - all I remember is a blue maze on the screen and I keep on calling it as Maze game. And my childhood memories / flashbacks coming back to me since after my 1st Sega Master System got damaged, couldn't get it out of my mind. That's why Snail Maze with 2 old school controllers means a lot to me!!
Very identical to my first Sega Master System (Photo 2) with 2 old school versions control Pads (mini sticks), the original box, Hang-On Sega Card, manual, "Snail Maze" secret game built-in, except with extra (mini stick) control pad added as spare.

Sega Mega CD: Tuesday 18th May 2004 (41)
I have bought Mega CD with Sega Mega Drive with games for £33.88 + p&p = 45.88 from Ebay. Unfortunately, this Mega Drive malfunction as the picture comes up on the screen but no sound at all. So I decided to keep it as a "Display Model" to go with my computer museum in the future. Both are working perfectly with all leads and RF cable. There are also 5 Mega Drive games and 5 Mega CD games.

I've purchased this Sony Playstation 2 Serial: B3852037 off my brother, James's friend - Pete around Nov 2009, as he was planning to sell it, due to Disc Read Errors.
I was very keen to buy it for £15, feeling sorry for him and using it as my "experiment" with PS2 Disc Read Errors - "DRE", following Tweak3D.net - How to Repair a Malfunctioning Playstation 2; Fix Disc Read Errors web site and it worked perfectly!! Afterwards, I've decided to give it a very thoroughly cleaning from both the inside & out of PS2, giving it a very good polished, as it was very filthy, full of hair & dust, as well some cigarette ashes, as he smokes!
Using this 3rd PS2 at the moment with the existing setup in Photo #30 except with Maxtor 200GB HDD and keeping the 2nd PS2 with Maxtor 300GB HDD in PS2 Network Adaptor in the attic as backup.

And that's when my life has started to get changed for the better, slowly and when I got computer addiction! My pride and joy is now damaged around 1990!

Comments
My personal Comments about my first home computer: Amstrad CPC 464
Around 1986, my dad have spent £399.99 for it as he saw the Amstrad CPC 464 in "Amstrad Software & Peripheral Catalogue 1986", as he decide to buy it from Curry's which is nearer for him and he asked my second brother, Daniel to pushed the trolley from Curry's to my house. Originally, he has bought a first home computer for us (me and my two older brothers - James & Daniel) to use it for entertainment. But it turns out in the end that he has bought it only for me as no-one else in the family knows how to use a computer except me, as he knows that I like interesting bits e.g. books with pictures inside such as Spot the Dog books - Where's Spot? by Eric Hill, The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle, The Tale Of Peter Rabbit by Beatrix Potter, Paddington Takes a Bath by Michael Bond, classic Ladybird books, Instruction Manuals, etc or playing around with electrical equipment. In those days, the Amstrad CPC 464's was one of the best computers when it first came out on the market.
It was late Amstrad CPC 464 - English version (old logo), having FLAT keys with a Amstrad CTM 644 colour monitor (old logo), Amsoft JY1 Joystick, Amstrad LP-1, Amstrad MP-1, Cheetah 125+ Joystick, manual, welcome tape - Spanish version, instead of having Amsoft 12-Pack, my dad decided to get a box containing over £100 worth of software including Tubaruba, 3D Grand Prix, Tank Command, etc and during that time, some of the games came packaged in distinctive gold clam cases with Amsoft Gold banner. I got very excited at first, jumping up and down for joy, full of excitement and I couldn't wait to set-up the computer and start playing every computer game that came with this computer. I always on the computer everyday non stop. Even since then, my learning abilities started to grow and grow, while I was hooked on playing on the computer, going to my near by Cotleigh Road Library to borrow and copying some of their Amstrad CPC games as they have the same computer as me. We were the first ones to buy this computer in my area, after James's friends come over and play on the computer with me, they started copying my dad's idea and buying the same computer as us, except they couldn't afford to buy the colour version, which is too expensive for them to buy, instead they've got the GT64/GT65 green screen version.
Unfortunately, around 15th July 1990, one of my brother's friend, Richard accidentally spilled a ice lolly onto the keyboard and then the computer made some noises. So, its looks like the life of Amstrad CPC 464 is over (damaged) and my dad threw the Amstrad CPC 464 away, after he had tried to take the computer to the same Curry's store where my dad have bought the Amstrad from, but they no longer sell or repair these computers anymore. During that time, Moley, my neighbour give me a comic that comes with the newspaper "The Sunday Times" called "The Funday Times" - No. 45 as she always gives the comic to me after she buy her newspaper.
I was very upset because that was one of my favourite home computer out of the other Amstrad CPCs range and I become attached to it, as I love this computer so much, one of the reasons I love this computer so much is, while the game is loading from cassette, I read the game instructions / manuals or make myself and my family a small snack with a cup of tea or talking, laughing, pulling funny faces with my two brothers while my parents sit down on the settle behind us, watching us having a good time. I got used to and I was loving it every minute of it, using it as a good thing, while some people moan because it takes a long time to load a game from cassette e.g. 3D Grand Prix. In a matter of fact, I was very clever when it comes to on paper, except there is only one big problem about me - that is simply I cannot speak or pronounce any words at all, so I use this computer with games / programmes that come with the computer as a learning exercise / teaching aid for myself and it worked.
Worst of all, my oldest brother, James gave a whole collection of computer games, accessories that come with the computer to his friend, Michael for free behind my back. I keep wishing that he didn't it, as I can't stop thinking about the good times I have with the CPC 464. Even now, I still remember the good times, a collection of computer games, how it help my life. I guess it stays in me (memories).
By the way, I let you a little secret about why I smile a lot or why I always happy, well, because each time, when I smile, it reminds me back when I was six years, people at primary school including the headmaster calling me dumb, stupid and so on just because I cannot speak or say a few words, I only do a sign language of my own, fortunately, when I started using computers including Amstrad CPC 464 (thanks to my dad) and I started saying a few words, all the same people were speechless, and felt ashamed. The funny thing is, everybody started coming to me and asking me to help them how to use their computers. Even the neighbours knocked on my door, asking me to set up their electrical equipment.

Packard Bell EXECUTIVE MM 9021 XE: 12 April-1997 - 24th August 2001 (4)
While I was studying GNVQ Advanced in IT course at City Of Westminster College in Paddington Green, I really need a PC desperately for me to do my assignments / coursework at college. So, my dad and myself went to PC World at Staples Corner, looking around about an hour, searching for a suitable computer, but as soon I saw Packard Bell 9021XE PC, I got immediately very excited because of the Media Select Control Pad, radio card and remote control.
My dad wanted to buy Compaq Presario PC just because of the brand name and Kamilla (the sales assistance) saying its the best and my dad just agree with her, which it has tiny Easy Access buttons (Media control system) built onto the top of the Desktop case as shown in PC World Booklet - April 1997 but I said 'No!' as I hated tiny Media control system built onto the top of the case so much, no over £1,000 free software, no 5 year computer insurance and costing £500 more than the computer I was planning to buy after fully studying while waiting for the right time to tell my dad for buying a PC and keeping a copy of previous Packard Bell Booklet - October 1996 the whole time as a souvenir - Packard Bell 9021 XE (Photo 4) which is similar to Platinum Supreme 1680 except without 2 USB ports, using UK Packard Bell Master CD English Ref No: 6708440101 & Packard Bell BOOT FLOPPY UK V 2.15 For MASTER CD & W 95 Disk 1 Ref No: 6708810101 from Packard Bell Software envelope with Packard Bell house set as default background wallpaper. Plus extra separate Windows 95 software in blank White envelope and Customer Service Dept has given me Packard Bell Master CD - English Ref No: 6708440301 & Packard Bell NEC FL97 MCD/W' 95 BOOTFLOP V 2.30 UK 6708810401 Disk 1/1
I kept on pestering my dad to buy Packard Bell 9021XE PC instead, as both Kamilla and my Dad didn't know what exact type of computer that I want, and I knew quite a lot about computers learned from Amstrad PCW8256, while I was telling him the differences between the two, I loved the Mini-Tower design, separate Media Select control panel fixed under the monitor, radio card and separate remote control. I loved that PC so much, and finally my dad gave up the argument and he bought Packard Bell 9021XE - same price as shown in PC World Booklet - April 1997 which it cost £3,000 in total including the 5 year insurance and lot of free software while I've grabbed the last copy of PC World Booklet - April 1997 before leaving the store. I've paid my dad back the whole £3,000 back bit by bit, because I feel very bad after I realised how much money that he has spend on me. Through out the course, I have used this new computer, experiencing the new computer as possible such as opening the computer case, finding out which slots are free, how much RAM can this computer take, and so on.
This model is top of the range with a state-of-the-art Intel Pentium P200 Processor and 32MB of memory capacity to provide you with the ultimate multimedia experience.
