I _still_ have:

Science of Cambridge MK14
VIC20 with casette deck
Tandy Color Computer
Acorn Electron
BBC B
Tandy TRS80 Pocket Computer (no longer works, sadly)
And probably some more stuff I cant remember.

The MK14 was my first computer driven HA machine... which of course
stopped working when it lost power, needing a tape reload... prior to
that HA was all about relays, uniselectors and time switches...

The MK14 was also my first computer music machine - I wrote a
sequencer for it that could control a monophonic synth and a hacked
drum machine.  The interface box I binned but before doing so I took
ma few piccies:

The box was later used with the VIC20 with a more advanced music
sequencer I wrote.  Ahhh... simpler days...
