Well, it is indeed a very clean machine. The previous owner was
very keen on telling that he was very carefull with it and stored
it in a box to keep it clean.
Both tapedrives are working fine, I put a casette tape in it which
came with the machine, and the game just loaded without problem
(did not have to clean the head).
I'm not sure of the expandapet board works, as I do not see a larger
RAM memory when plugged in. The SYS command to start de Compu-Think
software freezes the system. Maybe one of the 2 EPROMS have lost their
data over time....
Another item I found in the box of goodies is a digitizer, a little
black plate with a couple of copper sections you can tap with the
connected stylus. The touch area is about 3" by 3" in size.

That's in beautiful condition given that it's 27 or so years old. More
importantly, does the tape drive still play or has it siezed up? Nice to
see
an EXPANDAPET in all its hi-res glory too :) I've only read about them in
the past....
cheers
