That's the sexiest mf'er I've seen since my first Commodore, a C16 back in 1986
Retro Computing
For any and all discussion of retro computing topics. Let's not argue about what's retro or not.
Thanks! You still have that C16? Those are cool machines
Unfortunately no. I still have a C128 with a 1541, a 1571 and the first mouse they released (1351 I believe?). There was another mouse later that had proportional acceleration and operated more like a normal mouse.
No experience with it but damn that's a good looking computer!
Isn't it?!? It's hard to tell in pictures but the floppy drives are 1/4 bay height, so half the height of a normal 5 1/4". They use an electromagnetic solenoid to move the heads to keep them thin. That mech is what fails, unfortunately.
I even have a Titan QX-PC IBM pc emulator card for it. There was also a dual monitor display card available. It's a really cool machine that nobody ever heard of.
So was it inherited / been storing it for a while or bought it from a garage sale ?
It was a trash find. Got the computer, keyboard, monitor, printer, and PeachText out of an e-waste bin. The other accessories are from ebay.
It's the computer I've owned the longest, probably close to 20 years now.
Wow luckyyy and for it to be in such a good condition as well
I can hear this picture
