Vintage Computer Collection | Amstrad, NABU & Voodoo

Описание: 📼 Vintage Computer Collection | Amstrad, NABU & Voodoo

At the Train & Hobby Show 2025, I came across another vintage computer collection featuring an Amstrad CPC 6128, a Canadian NABU computer, and a pair of retro PCs running 3dfx Voodoo graphics cards.

This episode moves from 1980s home computers into early 3D PC gaming, showing a mix of Amstrad, NABU, Voodoo, floppy disk hardware, and classic games all running on original machines.

Everything here is real hardware. No emulation. No recreations. Just a working vintage computer collection with old computers still doing exactly what they were built to do.

Part 3 of this series includes:

• Amstrad CPC 6128 with 3-inch floppy disks
• Z80-based Amstrad hardware from the mid-1980s
• Chase HQ running on the Amstrad CPC
• Retro PCs with 3dfx Voodoo graphics cards
• CPU bottlenecks on period-correct Voodoo systems
• The Canadian NABU computer
• NABU keyboard and serial interface
• RS423 connection and modern adapter setup
• Galaxian running through RetroNET software
• A closer look at why these old machines still matter

The Amstrad CPC 6128 represents classic 8-bit home computing with its unusual 3-inch floppy disk format, while the NABU shows a different approach to networked computing from the early 1980s. The Voodoo PCs then jump forward into the late 1990s, when 3D graphics cards changed PC gaming completely.

This is Part 3 of a multi-episode Train & Hobby Show 2025 series featuring working vintage computers and the collectors who preserve them.
