Got another commie today on the way home at a garage sale. A 'classic'
C64, a 1541 and a 1541-II, plus two third-party printers and all the
cables and rigging. It also included a whole TON of what appeared to be
commercial boxed software, except there was not a SINGLE floppy diskette
in the batch, just all the fancy color-printed boxes. Some dastardly
soul probably snatched and put MS-DOS stuff on those disks fifteen years
ago...
I am now
working in a deparment where there is an SX64 still 'in
production' hooked up to a test fixture and occasionally used. I am
keeping a close eye on it and hope one day when it gets 'obsoleted'
it'll head my way. (in fact it'll probably be my job to rig up it's
replacement) I received a complete regular Commodore 64 system with
1571 drive a few weeks ago, all boxed up, with the custom data
aquisition card for the test fixture application it was used for.
Yep. There's at least ONE SX-64 out there still IN USE that I hope
to acquire when it's retired.
Could a photograph be taken? I think the Commodore masses would love
it.
