Bit of a result form the carboot sale today.
- Commodore Amiga 1200 (No PSU or and internal addons) – £3 (Yeah, £3. Knocked him down from £4 as I said it had no PSU!)
- Olivetti EO Personal Communicator 440 * 2 – 50p each!
Some non retro stuff too.
- EBD Reader – Used to read diag data from your car.
- USB Sound card – for use for my amateur radio exploits.
The Olivetti EO is the most interesting item of the lot.
This early tablet has the AT&T Hobbit RISC-based processor running at 20 MHz, 4 MByte of RAM and a 10Mb storage card. The touch screen is a high contrast, 110 dpi reflective LCD, 640 x 480 pixel resolution, screen size 5.9″ x 4.3″. It comes bundled with the following software.
- Pensoft Personal Perspective
- GO Mail
- GO FAX
- GO’s PenTOPS and PenCentral
- EO Phone
- GO MiniNote
- EO Calc
- EO Lock
- EO Sound
Sadly, it did not come with a PSU so I have not powered them up yet. The 2 CR123A batteries. I will put up another post about the EO once I have ut working.
You can read the personal account of David Hembrow, who worked for EO between 1991 and 1993 here.

Fantastic find! 🙂 There’s never anything remotely interesting at the car boot sales around here. 🙁
Good boot finds!
Miggy 1200 for £3 Now that is a billy bargin!
Intrigued by that early tablet.
