You'd need a different anti-virus product than the usual ST one.
:lol:
Honestly, you'd have to be desperate to buy this for £5, surely?
Would have been a good candidate for the 'worst shape but working' compo, if it was hardware. :lol:

Could they be from Mark? The guy who's house/collection burnt up a year or so ago?

I like Spectrums and I like Jeff's games, but this is a bit beyond my budget :D

I'd really like an Atari Trakball as it's the essential way to play Missile Command, but really...

I've got the one in the bottom picture. Luckily I bought it c20 years ago. They were abundant and cheap back then - must have been a lot of NOS about.
They are great though. Even though the original 2600 Missile Command didn't fully support it, even playing it with the Trak-Ball in joystick mode makes it more arcade-like.
I've yet to plug it into an ST - must give it a try

I also had the bottom one many moons ago, same box too. I'd like to get one and a graphics tablet to recreate my original setup.

Anyone looking for a five figure BeBox?

Seems to be in pretty good shape, with a decent collection of swag, but come on.
Bonus: Item description reads as if it was written by Sotheby's.

Yikes!!
I mean the Be case is unusual for sure, but I expect internally it's just a PC and nothing special. I still have a boxed copy of BeOS from BITD.
