Well, I have a Videoton TVC, but without any PSU, an Atari Portfolio, an MSX... not that really rare items, but still uncommon.

Well, my two most rare ones are:

A Pravetz 8D, a Bulgarian clone of the Oric Atmos, complete with Cyrillic keyboard and patched ROM to display the Cyrillic character set.

A motherboard of a Cray T3E I won at the Alternative party

I guess the Oric 1, Atmos and Telestrat also count as rare stuff compared to some other machines.

Besides the not so rare A500, I've got one of these ...

Powerbook 180

including a fitting number block and StyleWriter Laser Printer. Should all still work like a charm except for
the battery, which is missing anyway.

Technically a computer.. unfortunately i have none of the dev software for it. :(
rarefaction: I think I have that somewhere... do you have all the correct cables, scsii card, etc? One important thing: NEVER - EVER, I repeat: NEVER FUCKING EVER hot plug/unplug the video cable from the devkit. Do it only if both the devkit and the tv/monitor are off. Else you will kill the video output. Really. No kidding. Shit happens. Has happened. At least twice...

Not rare, but not widely spread in europe:
An Atari 600 XL and an 800 XL. The 600 XL is RAM-upgraded and thus more or less the same as the 800 XL (I think).

And an Atari 7800. I should make a demo for this baby, but its video hardware is too crappy to get anything interesting done :)

Attach the keyboard, and you can carry it as a briefcase. It's heavy as fuck though! Got it from a school that was throwing out old equipment. The box also contained the book "Du og dino lærer BASIC". :-)

A friend of mine had this Schneider CPC back in the early 90's when we all had our C64/Amigas (dunno if he still has it):

BB Image

He also used a custom green monitor (also by Schneider) and an external 3.5" disk drive, because the internal use a special disk format which was hard to get.
