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.
  • Chiming in with the other commentors, that is a seriously beautiful computer design. Thank you very much for sharing it.
  • Great looking computer. Interesting video, thanks :)

    Now we know these are real! What an awesome thing to have in your collection! 😊
  • 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)
  • @reabinc
    Neat styling . Thanks for showing us
  • your channel rocks sir!

    My father had one of these! Was the era at the 80's... LOL
  • 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.
  • oh wow what a beautiful machine. edit: what's that thing on the hard drive? a speaker?
  • What is the fan like thing to the left with the red button?

    It looks both dated and futuristic at the same time
