The late 1970s until the mid 1980s were a time of rapid evolution in home and business desktop computer design. These pages list many of the different models which appeared and give the hardware specification of each. Contemporary magazine reviews of some machines are also available.
For more information on early desktop computers, and some superb photographs, read 'Digital Retro' by Gordon Laing, published in 2004 by Ilex, ISBN 1-904705-39-1.
