Welcome to the History of the Home Computers!
This site will tell you the story of homecomputing from 1976 to
today - from Apple I to the Pentium. Besides the story
there is also a large index of about 100 computers and their
technical specs - some of them come along with a picture.
You will also find many links to interesting Web-sites,
newsgroups and FTP-server.
And if you desperately search for a way to get a computer
from the database, you can check out the emulator section
which contains emulators for Amiga, PC, Linux, ST, QL, Macintosh
and 8 bit computers.
Why a 'History of the Home Computers'?
Old computers never die - every computer has its own history,
advantages and deserves to live on. For example take the Enterprise,
a revolutionary computer from 1984: It could display 256 colours at
once and had a screen resolution of 672*512! The Enterprise is only
one example. Many computers have something that makes them unique.

Please note that this site is still under construction, so some
texts are missing (but most of the links to the unfinished
pages are deactivated). This site is a translated version of
