The first machine I used was a Commodore PET 2001-8, back
in 1978 (I was 17 at the time). It was at school, part of
the electronics course. I don't have one of that particular
model PET in my collection.
The first machine of my own was a Compukit UK101, a British
copy of the Ohio Scientific. Same 6502 processor as the
PET, of course. I still have it, it still works, I've
written an emulator for it (8086 asm) and I occasionally
write code for it! See my Web site:
