Sol-20 S100 Bus system - Circa 1975 - Blue hammered steel case with polished walnut end caps.

It might be predated by an old Altos MPM (Multi-user CP/M) 2 MHz Z80 system I still fire up occasionally - just to run Adventure and WordStar.

I still have my 1978 vintage TRS-80 Model I with Level II, expansion interface, 48K Ram, and 4 disk drives in the attic.

It hasn't been powered on in 15 years but I can relive the experience thanks to emulation. Except they don't spontaneously reboot like the original did :)

Does my father's slide rule count? It's carried in a sheath that attaches to the belt, just like people clip their PDA's and Blackberries on these days.

If not, the oldest actual computing equipment I own is a TI-59 programmable calculator.
