I had not seen that before.

A sort of DIY Raspberry Pi, but less powerful?

It's a DIY Jupiter Ace, Dave.

Remarkably quick it is, too - if you can get your head round the RPN Forth.. which I can't!

CBS Colecovision (so I can work on a little non-Memotech project with Claus).

I'm not really planning to grow my retro collection, although there are a couple of really rare things that if they appear I'll be bidding for.

If my computer hardware collection grows, I hope it'll be because I've invented something for the future.
Then I'll get rich, retire, sit on a beach somewhere with a sundowner, ...

Here's my list to add to the collection:

mtx512
Spectrum (+2 I think, never used, looking for a good home)
Apple IIe with dual floppies (never used, looking for a good home)
BBC Micro B (never used, at least one floppy, looking for a good home)
Amiga 500P (boxed with HD and CDROM. saw a lot of use before my PC)
ZX81 (two, both boxed, one in retail and the other in mail order)

I have also owned a C64 (heavily used in its day for games) and a Jupiter Ace (no games so got rid). Had one of the first Spectrum 16K too.

Always wanted a GVP accellerator for the amiga to run Unix but the prices were too high.

TTFN
THIS is what Memotech is doing now.

Beside from a few specials like the Orics, a Didaktik etc., it´s mainly Spectrums, a few QLs and three Sam Coupes.
The whole lot can be seen on --> http://schombi.de/my-retro-collection.html
