I've scoured eBay and others, and haven't yet found what I'm after - or am unwilling to lose $200 on a bloody floppy drive. Of course, there may be some that I've missed. Anyway, here's what I'm after, that remains to complete my personal collection:
1) Commodore 64 (condition irrelevant, so long as it works - with all keys)
2) Commodore C-16 (condition irrelevant, so long as it works - with all keys)
*3) PC Clone 8086 (NOT 8088!) motherboard, 10MHz CPU (no proprietary formats, but standard XT-type mobo) - I know this will be a hard one.
*4) Just got the 386-SX board.
5) About 10 or so IDE hard drives under 1GB for use with older PCs. If under 511MB, even better, so long as they work with no "lost clusters" or bad sectors.
6) 4 MFM hard drives with 2 usable controllers (would like one 8-bit, one 16-bit). Prefer 40MB and under. Same working condition as previous.
*7) About 5 each floppy drives, both 5¼" 1.2M & 3½" 1.44M. Plus one of each low-density 360K & 720K. Faceplate color is irrelevant.
8 ) An 8-bit floppy controller that will work with low-density 3½" 720K floppies.
Remember, these items will be put to use, not collecting dust on a shelf. I already have my museum pieces for that. heh
And for obvious reasons, I won't be able to afford them all at once, so the more urgent ones will be paid for first (*). Over the next 4 weeks I'll be buying them from y'all. So feel free to keep tabs on me.
