HP 2113E minicomputer and 87XM micro – Mike Loewen

"The HP 2113E minicomputer from 1976 was part of the second series of 21MX machines, and used semiconductor RAM instead of core memory. The system on display has a 2748B high speed paper tape reader (500cps) which is used to load software into RAM. Paper tape BASIC will be loaded, after which BASIC programs can be loaded from the interpreter. A 2645A terminal is used for communication. Also on display is an 87XM personal computer from 1983 with dual diskette drives. The 87MX has built in BASIC with graphics capability."

Macintosh IIcx (1989)

There’s something quietly iconic about the IIcx: a workstation-era Mac that looks restrained, tidy, and confident. Same 68030-era muscle as its bigger sibling, but in a slimmer case that feels more “designed” than “industrial.”

Motorola 68030 @ 16 MHz — fast, serious, and very late-80s pro

3× NuBus slots — enough room for real expansion without the huge tower vibe
