Good Vintage Computers?

Posted by Cliff on from the hardware-with-a-place-in-computing-history dept.

The Crooked Elf asks: "I'm going to be running an event dedicated to vintage computers and game consoles in a month for the computer science department at the University of Southern Maine. My current arsenal includes a TRS-80 Color Computer 3 and an old NES (with Zelda, Mario, etc), but I feel I need a few more items to display. I have a budget of around $600 for this event. Slashdot, what do you feel are other decent vintage systems that would be the most valuable and educational to present?"

    Basically anything with a tape reader, or even better if you can find them, anything with puch cards.

  2. How about a vectrex? by I(rispee_I(reme · · Score: 2, Insightful

    A nice example of the rarely-seen-these-days vector monitor. Available for about $50 on ebay.
