Title: Cromemco Z-2D Computer for free in NSW (AUS)
Post by: austfox on September 25, 2022, 06:08:11 am

I've never heard of Cromemco, but my searching suggests it is an American made S-100 Z80 system.

Not me giving this away, but maybe someone on here needs a restoration project:

Pickup is in Newcastle (NSW, Aust).

I'd hate to see this go to someone who will scrap it for the metal content!

ISTR playing with one of these at a local computer shop around the time of the early Commodore PETs, must have been around 1979-81, though fairly sure at that time it had 8" floppies.

Probably has some value to early computer collectors
