@TechTangents Really cool machine.
The first half of the 80s was IMHO peak (micro) computer. Sort of like the second half of the 70s was peak Hi-Fi.

I can't really disagree, my gateway into vintage computing was Win9X gaming but I've definitely spent more time exploring earlier parts of it now.
It's hard to beat the machines that you can fully understand the hardware in but also try wild and crazy stuff because x86+Microsoft hadn't engulfed the industry yet.
My 1981 HP Series 200 where HP uses HP-IB to connect all the peripherals is wonderful and would not happen 3 years later.

@TechTangents yes, exactly! They’re at that sweet spot of complexity, capability and exploration
