Will do. I’ll probably blog it and possibly do a video.

Splendid

I got it for £20 (plus postage). :oops: I happen to have found a full schematic too... 99% 74LS logic + (6164) RAM + 8086, so whatever state it's in it should be fixable. I think I saw it on ebay ear...

Evening All. I've just finished fixing up an old C64 out of a pile of boards, cases etc, to be added into my personal collection. So I have a tape drive emulator and am now looking at getting a disk drive emulator. Can you guys please let me know your opinions of what's good to get. Also interested...
