Hi Folks, I've just become aware of the relatively recently set up Centre for Computing History, at Haverilll:

http://www.computinghistory.org.uk/

I landed on it while doing a Google search for "Sharp MZ-80B", which was my first serious personal computer (the one before that being a Sinclair ZX-81, which was capable of a surprising amount of real work).

It's on our patch, and I plan to make a visit!

[Perhaps, if I can still find them, I could donate the 20 or so floppies on which I obtained my first Linux system - SLS, back in August 1992, 0.92 kernel]

Best wishes to all, Ted.
