Hello all. Eh just from grins I was looking at one of these computers for sale on eBay and it doesn't start up, but has a little floppy image in the center of the screen. What does this mean? Is it simply the HDD has failed or the system is void of one? Don't know any other info as far as...

Greetings all. Just bought a C128, and the introduction guide says to get 80 columns an RGBI monitor is needed. I have two - haven't tried them because I don't want it in my computer room; takes up too much space. Is there an alternative? I have a TV/monitor; will this work? It has component...
