My brother in law used to write spectrum music with a tracker program.
He got a few tunes into the Your Sinclair magazine and wrote the music for the SAM Coupe version of Lemmings

Ive got a few computers used to go to the local auction house and bid on bikes and computers. They would hold up a computer. He'd say. Commodore 64...whats the bid...and look at me first.  often got them for £1 would sort them. then play the games for a couple of weeks. Then sell them in the local paper for £20. The auction house is shut now. still got a few computers. not used them for ages. Mostly just play facebook games. Maybes on the Playstation PS1, or the commodore DTV. |

I seen an Amstrad CPC 464 and a lot of games in a junk shop for £10 the other day. It had the smaller rounded case, green screen monitor. I was thinking of getting it as its keyboard was ok. My 464 fell on the ground and cracked the case.  Also it wasnt far to the bus stop. Ive carried computers upto a mile before. Dont want to do that again. Ive got Spectrum...Rubber 48k..... 48k + ........ grey 128k +2.......black 128k +2.....128k +3 Commodore......C16...... +4............C64, some are the old style, some are the Amiga styled ones. A couple in boxes still. .........Amiga 600.........Amiga 1200.....C64 DTV Amstrad....CPC 464.........CPC 6128 Sega........Master system 2........Megadrive Dragon 32 Texas ti99 Playstation. PS1 and the original Playstation Atari....flashback I have a MP3 tv tuner module for the Amstrad colour monitor. sometimes use that with my old computers. My Philips TV doesnt like to play with these old computers. I got the PS1 with joysticks and over 30 games for £10 at a boot sale. There was an Xbox and games on my local freecycle. I should have went to get it |

Cor Alec, You've got some great stuff there. Dragon 32 is a name that i forgot. Cheers for the offer Mushroom, My pc plays films already i was just hoping to sort my XBox to stream my laptop though. Music works on it but so may time outs and they don't just carry on playing when it comes back you have to restart program so thats a bit pointless.
