Dave from London
Posted: 02 Oct 2023 08:01
Hi folks!
I'm Dave and currently living in London with my wife, two children, dog and a collection of robots.
My first computer was a ZX Spectrum when I was a teenager, but I saved up enough from part-time jobs to buy a Memotech MTX 512. I don't remember exactly which year but probably around 1985. I remember enjoying using it way more than the ZX Spectrum and wrote various programs in Z80 assembler as well as BASIC and Noddy. However, the Amiga came along and took my attention away from the Memotech and it's been in cupboard for years.
A year ago I went to the Retro Computing Festival in Cambridge and someone there had a Memotech and caused me to remember this computer that I'd enjoyed using many years ago. I'm in the middle of restoring an Enterprise 64, but once that's done I'd like to get my old Memotech up and running again.
I run the London Retro Computing meetup group https://www.meetup.com/London-Retro-Computing/ Since the pandemic most of our meetings have been online so the "London" bit of the name isn't that relevant any more
I'm always interested in speakers on all things retro computing. We've not had anyone talk about or demo a Memotech before so please let me know if you'd be interested in doing so.
Not relevant to this forum, but I also run the RoboHack meetup group https://www.meetup.com/robohack/ and forum https://robohack.org.uk/ in case anyone else here is also interested in robotics.
