It was on ebay. It was for a CC40 with a 16KB RAM cart, a pen
plotter/printer, wide carriage printer, modem, the wafertape drive,
and some wafertapes. The main thing I was interested in was the
wafertape drive -- I already have the other items. It was
originally an open-ended auction, and nobody had bid on it yet, so
I mailed the seller and said: put a $120 buy it now price and I'll
buy it. I should have shot lower, because he agreed too
readily. :-) In retrospect, it was more than I really should have
spent on it, but they are hens teeth, so I bought it.
The timespan from listing until purchase was probably about an hour.
Huh? I thought the wafertape was never released. Did this one
get leaked or something?

The hexbus interface is pretty cool too, really well
thought out.
Recently I scored a rare wafertape drive for the CC40, although I
haven't tried it out yet ... too much work to address first.
Wow! Where did
you score that from??
