Mine has bad floppy drives. Hopefully it’ll get floppy emulator replacements soon.
That’s the sexiest mf’er I’ve seen since my first Commodore, a C16 back in 1986
Thanks! You still have that C16? Those are cool machines
Unfortunately no. I still have a C128 with a 1541, a 1571 and the first mouse they released (1351 I believe?). There was another mouse later that had proportional acceleration and operated more like a normal mouse.
No experience with it but damn that’s a good looking computer!
Isn’t it?!? It’s hard to tell in pictures but the floppy drives are 1/4 bay height, so half the height of a normal 5 1/4". They use an electromagnetic solenoid to move the heads to keep them thin. That mech is what fails, unfortunately.
I even have a Titan QX-PC IBM pc emulator card for it. There was also a dual monitor display card available. It’s a really cool machine that nobody ever heard of.
So was it inherited / been storing it for a while or bought it from a garage sale ?
It was a trash find. Got the computer, keyboard, monitor, printer, and PeachText out of an e-waste bin. The other accessories are from ebay.
It’s the computer I’ve owned the longest, probably close to 20 years now.
Wow luckyyy and for it to be in such a good condition as well
I can hear this picture
