| What is the oldest, most obsolete piece of gear you are forced to maintain?
I'll start...
I have a Foxboro process control computer (circa. 1975) w/ 4 4-bit processors that operates at a whooping 12MHz. It is maxxed out with 64K of memory. 8 serial ports. Originally had 2 8" floppies (since retrofitted w/ 3 1/2s). Vendor support ended in 1995. I've got spares out the wazoo. Programs in Basic. It's even got 16 swithes on the front panel for loading a bootstrap. | |

| I don't have to support it but in my own collection I have an old TRS 80 Model 3, circa 1982, with a wopping 16k of Ram. A cassett player to load trsdos programs. I did have an 8" external floppy drive for it but it died 10 years ago. I get it out of the closet every now and then and boot it up...just for grins and giggles. | |

| Well, since I was only a wee kid, I can remember taking a BASIC programming class using Trash 80. I also played Bard's Tale more than program using BASIC on the family's Commodore 64. Yikes! |
