Today I picked up a parcel which had been waiting at the post office since last friday (unfortunately I have been out of action with the flu ) and it contained the Sord M5 I recently won on eBay. The Sord M5 is definitely an interesting little beastie and quite a rare one at that. In the years that I have been collecting old computers I haven’t come across one for sale, so I snapped this one up when I saw it. (Although to be honest, I probably paid too much for it…)

The Sord M5 is a cute little machine with a chicklet keyboard and this one is in excellent condition - some of the included tapes and cartridges are still sealed in fact! Unfortunately one thing that was missing from the box is the power supply, so I can’t fire it up and test it. At the moment there doesn’t seem to be a great deal of information on the Sord M5 on the ‘net, so coming up with a work-around for the power supply might be a bit tricky…
