This "Mini-Scamp is a famous design published in EA magazine, and sold
as a kit by Dick Smith.
It has its own historical significance above and beyond all those eval

Hmm I threw away three pallets of Trash 80 models 1,2 and 3 as
well as the 240V powered 6 meg hard disk with glass lid on it to allow
viewing of the spinny bits. Also threw away lots of model 1000 and 2000
Tandy's.
It's only because most people do this, that makes those remaining worth
anything at all.

If an EA miniscamp can go for $500, an EA EDUC-8 would really be worth
something !
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Educ-8
My first assembler language programming was on a Signetics 2650 eval
system (8k ram, load/save to cassette tape) in early 1977, then I
moved on to one of the first Apple II (6502 cpu) to arrive in aus
later that year or early 1978 (??). I used the M6800 eval kit in
1980, and the DREAM o/s author (Michael Bauer) was one of my tutors at
Uni when it came out. Programmed lots of other computers too in the
late 70s, from micros up to mainframes, and haven't stopped doing it!

It only had 256 bytes (1/4k!) of RAM, and 64 bytes of that were used
by the monitor program, Pipbug. I still managed to write a 'Nim' game
program within the remaining 200-odd bytes, though ! Still got it somewhere
in the files.....
I built that one too, but before that I built the 'baby 2650' EA project.

I can understand that! It took several months for me to get it going at
the time (hey, I was 16 or so - gimme a break).

If they were old micros then you'd have people falling over

I'm surprised the Power House museum won't take some of it. With their
big warehouse at Castle Hill (now open to the public) they could
easily save some of it.

Yes, it's not the first time that museum has been given its marching
orders.

I would like to think that this was worth preserving. One of Australia's

up with an electro-mechanical vote counter in 1913, and turned it into

But then, I'm biased, I worked there for 25 years.
