giving them away! Then maybe I could find a 1581 drive for under $50 in
working condition.

I haven't seen C64s or peripherals for sale in the Leeds area for ages. I
think I saw one at a car boot sale with a ?90 sticker on it, but that's it.
The car boot sales around here are basically a load of crap - pirated
software, old phones, kids toys, that sort of crap.
Anyone care to suggest a car boot sale in the West Yorkshire (UK) area,
preferably within, say, 15 miles of Leeds, that usually has people selling
classiccmps?
Which reminds me - I saw an Amiga 1000 in the free-adverts paper the other
day - ?900 - "ideal starter's machine". Just for added irony, there was a
very similar machine listed directly below that - "Amiga A1000, box full of
games, loads of software including DeluxePaint. ?30 ONO".
Later.
