Come on, *someone* has to have a Timex Sinclair!  Apple ][e?

I've got an Atari 800XL but I've got power supply problems with the floppy drive so I can't load code. It boots into the BASIC ROM though. And I have my fully working (last I checked) Zenith 181 laptop and working 720K 3.5" floppies with DOS+WordStar on floppy A and data on floppy B.

I also have a stash of old computers, NICS, and floppy drives, so I could probably boot that old stuff up. I even have a DOS 6.22 VMware VM (I forget if I have networking enabled on it).

Later,
JP

"Microsoft Tax" = the additional hardware & yearly fees for the add-on
software required to protect Windows from its own poorly designed and
implemented self, while the overhead incidentally flattens Moore's Law.
