1980s Vintage Computers


Wireless World Magazine

Wireless World was a British electronics magazine that started in the early 1920s, and as the name suggests focused on wireless (radio) transmission and reception. 

In the 1970s digital electronics grew due to the introduction of low-cost ICs. Several electronic magazines started to feature articles on microprocessors, and in 1977 Wireless World ran a series of articles based on the kit computer designed by NASCO Ltd. 

I have scanned in the series of articles on Microcomputer Design featuring the NASCOM 1, and saved them as PDF files. For some reason there are two Part 5s!
