Interesting website.

   Casio PB-110  - had one of them
   Sharp EL-8131 Electronic Calculator  - ditto, cool green display!
   Uni-Com Datacard 8000  - ditto

Mom has a cool flat credit-card sized calculator. It is ancient, 
reliable, and has had a lot of use. If you want to mention this on the 
CoCH, please do - I have just taken a photo and dropped it on my 
website. http://www.heyrick.co.uk/casiocalc.jpeg (about 280K I think).

Ages ago had a console like the Atari 2600, but the games were built in. 
A little slide-switch selected the game, and there were two 'paddles' 
with rotating knobs for control.

Got a Gameboy Color and a Gameboy Advance, neither of which are on the 
site. Interested in photos? Specs available online.

The Acorn PocketBook II - you might like to include a link also to my 
site, which has lots of info and system examination and software, etc.

(most of this applies to the Psion 3a as well, so could be linked from 
there as well?)


Best wishes,

Rick.
