Dont worry.

Take it from me; just bring as much as you can fit in the car and then test it/set it up on the day. I mean, what could go wrong? :D

Yeah don’t worry, I’ll test it all for you :crazy:

I can probably see if I can find & bring that load of old mice & joysticks I bought from you a few years back :lol: :roll:

Got enough here already :lol: :roll: I know my stigmaray works though it's a bit hard on the old wrist these days. I should probably take it as it clicks really loud. Can irritate more people then.

Just wondering if we could have enough STs and MIDI cables for a big MIDI Maze tournament...?
I think I have the original version somewhere - and there was a MIDI Maze II IIRC but never seen that one...

Maybe 10+ retro computer enthusiasts could take on a couple of ninjas and not lose every single round... :lol: :roll:

I've ordered a couple of little upgrades for the C128D and am hoping they arrive in time as a couple are coming from overseas.

There's a dual Sid adaptor, a 64K VDC upgrade and an 80 column to VGA adaptor.

Then if I really get time, the C128D will be Black in colour to match the keyboard I'm using with it, that and it looks pretty good in black :D

Cool. :)

Ooh. Might look like a bit like a funky CDTV then? :D

@mrbombermillzy there's one that someone did here: http://blog.c128.net/archives/781

Mine won't have the built in screens etc but it will look pretty good I think

That looks pretty cool.

I may still have the odd random spare for a 128D (space bar/key springs, perhaps some keys, floppy lock handle maybe) if you want any 'spares' brought up to Northampton...?

In the darker, less probed recesses of my mind, I often consider getting a 128DCR again, as I had some unfinished projects that I wanted to complete.

If you've got a good floppy lever that would help as I had to rob one from a 1541 II drive to get this one to work.

Hope you've got deep pockets if you want a 128DCR!
