Hahaha! Sorry Cammeron. I forgot that you're one of the goto guys when
it comes to old boxes :)
Yes, the Sinclairs that I've collected are T/S 1000's. And I should
prolly peruse your site for the Commodore stuff too. I've got a Vic20
and a couple of C64's, but I never fire up the Vic20.
The Commodore 64 machines I use (on occasion) for packet radio, but more
often I use my old XT based machines. It's really nice to have a small
supply of 8 bit ISA NICs ;)
