[QUOTE="PoloMint, post: 243676, member: 175235"] I first used an Amstrad CPC 464, it loaded and saved files from a tape drive, you could save things to regular audio tapes. [url]http://www.old-computers.com/museum/computer.asp?c=84[/url] It could take 20 minutes to load a program from tape, but it had a word processor ROM card that loaded instantly. After that I had/used a Amstrad PC1512 (sounds similar to Rolfw's, western digital 'hard card' and dot matrix printer). I really like old computers and getting them to work again, I dream that one day I'll have a computer museum... [/QUOTE]
