One of the fellows at high school talked about and I think brought along a DREAM-6800 computer [0] It was published as a project kit by the Electronics Australia magazine. That said the Apple ][ and TRS-80 seemed way more functional. It wasnt until a few years later at Uni that I got to really enjoy low-level programming and working directly with I/O. (I think the guy with the DREAM-6800 ended up making a motza making poker machines) [0] http://www.mjbauer.biz/DREAM6800.htm http://www.mjbauer.biz/DREAM6800.htm
