I didn't in the end. I find it difficult to part with old (and arguably
classic) hardware. I've just dumped (via Freecycle) some circa 1996-1998
hardware (Pentium 1s, Pentium 2s etc) but I can't bring myself to dump my
old 486DX2-50 (1st PC I ever owned) nor my Amiga, nor indeed my Acorn
Electron or BBC Micro. I still harbour delusions of getting an original +3
interface for my Electron!
Cheers
