I had a couple of Sirius (AKA Victor) machines that were cast offs from my father's office given to me to play with. The first one was twin floppy, and the second had a 5MB hard drive. When I got the second one I think the first one got binned. When the second one broke, I bust it up to use the PSU and HDD on another computer. Of course, I really wish now that I'd kept at least one of them, but you never know at the time what would have value in the future and what is just junk.
- h2odragon 3y agoMy first exposure to "real" computers was with Victor machines. I may well have one in a pile somewhere still. I worked for a shop that was a Victor dealer, they had the fabled "PC compatible floppy drive" in a machine there. Later I was one of the few people with a PC that could read Victor disks; Copy2PC card For Tha Win there. They did "high memory" and iirc had slightly higher resolution text modes, which made them wonderful for spreadsheets. http://www.oldcomputers.net/victor9000.html http://www.oldcomputers.net/victor9000.html
