your missing C128DCR (different to the 128D and imo the best of the 128's). I would not bother with any of the drives or REU's (REU's are rare and expensive), get a 1541 ultimate ii, its an reu and SD card reading 100% compatibile drive in a cartridge. best thing I ever got ;)

plus get some jiffydos roms from jim brain

Thanks, I skipped the low cost C128. No real reason, I guess I was being quick about the post.

The DCR is about all you'll find in the US, I'm pretty sure all actual 128D's (plastic case w/handle) are PAL.

..not that you couldn't switch the motherboards, of course.

Tone's estimates are reasonable ballpark, though a ton depends on condition. REU (1750) is the wild card, they can go dirt cheap and at times they can go well north of $100.

I would have a C128DCR (64kb vdc, bugfixed roms) and an original flat 128 (16kb vdc, old roms), good for testing.

I am looking to research building an REU. I have a logic analyzer. It is not a pro unit but it should be good for this. I got alot on my mind I would like to do. Most have already been done. It still sounds like fun though.
Sincerely.

I have an extra C128D (CR of course).  I'm not certain that the drive works properly, so I'd have to test it.

I am interested in new, used, working or not.
It will take a while for me to buy all the stuff I want.

I'd take a metal case over a plastic case any day of the week, so DCR for me. Well, at least before going in a tower:D

I'm with red, the 128DCR roxx.. The flat plastic regular 128's have alot of bus noise.

If you have a specific need for a 64k VDC that's cool, but for build quality I prefer the original one :)

I did see the schematic the second time I went by the site.
Has anyone used a 6502 in a C64? I guess they had to emulate the P0...4 lines.
The the 6510 has port mapped I/O and the 6502 has memory mapped I/O.
It has been a while since I got into a real C64.
With a C64, what I have read is that $DF0x is the start of where the reu sends and receives data and commands. Making address decode is the hard part I guess.
