So, Last year I lost my vintage computers (most of them a work in progress) in a house fire. I've started rebuilding my collection. I've got my TI-83+ still, I consider that to be one. It was with me when the fire happened, and I have an old windows 95 computer I got my hands on, still not sure what to do with him yet. Ideas on projects/places to go next. Would love to find something reliable that can takes datasets, but is reasonably priced.

The NABU computer is a great deal. You can buy one directly from [http://www.pellmill.com/](Pell Mill) and with efforts made by DJ Sures and others at https://nabu.ca there is a thriving infrastructure and community around it. Its z80 based and capable of running CP/M. From there you can run the MSX emulator and play many MSX games.

Just curious, what does one need to get started with this thing? Probably more then what comes in the box? Looks interesting that's for sure.
