A new entertaining Youtube video on Nascom's (+ Also ZX81 controlling a PowerPlant) - UK Vintage Radio Repair and Restoration Discussion Forum

This video (like Timbucus has done for Sinclair computers etc.) has just been created on Youtube and announced on the Nascom-computers groups.io. But I thought there's probably a few here who aren't members of that, but would appreciate this and some amusing & computer-building inspirational moments: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VZG9cX3wqOQ
- Also featuring a Psion-II as a handheld Serial-Terminal and the first UK issue of PCW magazine, that's been mentioned here recently, and had the Nascom on the cover.

He'd also done another amusing one a year ago, based on the infamous Sinclair ZX81 able to control a Power-Plant advert (that I also saw set-up at last year's Cambridge CfCH RCF event): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tB6CC8UbJLU

Yes I watched that with my afternoon coffee - his videos are always entertaining (as is he in real life). That Nascom 2 and the ZX81 Power Station simulation was at the Vintage Computer meet last November - impressive!
