I saw this on TV last night, it was so cool to see an old C64 in the spot light.

Very cool.

BTW, did you know that Subaru is the Japanese name for Pleiades, the Star Cluster which some ancient civilizations believe the human race was born?

My C64II wasn't on the photo's anymore, but I also got one of those 1541-II drives and a KCS power cartridge.
I also got one of those Amiga 500 which had a kickstart 2.0 onboard but it seem to be a revision 3, so a pretty old girl :laughing:

Once again, one of my C64's. The other is the second gen one, nothing much to look at.

Anyhow, despite all the tweaks, this one is still fully backwards compatable.

Yes XDelusion, this machine of yours, is to blame for my latest acquisitions and fast talkin to my wife about how this is not 'more junk in my man cave'.

@Buzzfuzz, Got these goodies too (that room is a catacomb of commodore):

Missah cart.
uIEC / SD card (2GB SD)
S-video adapter to my old LCD tv (pre-HDTV).
mouse interface for Missah programs.
SID2SID circuit board, not started on this.
