I was at a small technical conference last weekend (www.devconf.cz) at the Faculty of Informatics, Brno Masaryk University.
https://www.fi.muni.cz/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Masaryk_University What I didn't know is that it has its own small museum of computing. I enjoyed it a lot. There's a good range of Sinclair kit and clones, including various real ZX Spectrum machines (48, Plus, 128 with vanishingly rare numeric keypad, Plus 2, Plus 2A, Plus 3, Interface 1 and Microdrives, MGT +D, Opus Discovery) and clones including Soviet (Orel BK-08), Polish (CZ Spectrum 48) and Czechoslovakian (Didaktik Gama, Kompakt and Kompakt M, with rare built-in 3½" floppy drive) and a SAM Coupé. There are other Czechoslovak machines, micros and minis and mainframe parts. They have an HP 3000, a PDP-11/34 and multiple RL02s, with both VT-120 and VT-220) and a Soviet PDP-11 clone. Mechanical and early electronic calculators. And a mediaeval clock! In the unlikely even folk are passing, it's well worth a visit. I spent a happy couple of hours in there. -- Liam Proven • Profile: https://about.me/liamproven Email: [email protected] • Google Mail/Hangouts/Plus: [email protected] Twitter/Facebook/Flickr: lproven • Skype/LinkedIn: liamproven UK: +44 7939-087884 • ČR (+ WhatsApp/Telegram/Signal): +420 702 829 053
