Okay, I've made this video back in 2014 and I thought it s*cked... But since this is probably the only working Holborn 6500 in the world I thought lets share it anyway... So here it is...

Holborn 6500
192KB of system memory (the maximum)
Capable of running CP/M and MP/M
Two 1.2MB floppy drives (formatted as 77 track 8 inch disks)
External hard disk with a Xebec 1410 controller inside (two 5MB partitions)

One thing is sure, the guys from Holborn had way better taste for "looks" than the old farts from IBM with their ugly boring box.
Holborns look great!

Nicely done. I've always thought the Holborn to be one of the few really unique personal computer industrial designs.

Thanks for the review. When I saw, it's a Dutch computer, I immediately opened Marktplaats, but nothing was there :) (and as I've read further, only about 100 computers were made, and company became bankrupt, so the chance to see it now is miniscule)

Chiming in with the other commentors, that is a seriously beautiful computer design. Thank you very much for sharing it.

Beautiful machine indeed, keeps me wondering, how come these hard drives are still working! I threw away dozens of much newer ones already broken since 1990.

It looks both dated and futuristic at the same time
