I could use some of those spare parts, am local, and have a pickup truck.  PM sent!  :D

So I picked up all this stuff on Saturday, great meeting @Esc (wish we'd been able to hook up sooner for our DC/MD meetup group!). Am really excited for when I can find time to play with some of this stuff including the Cocolino, the controllers and keyboards, some of the games and especially a disk that was labled "Mike the Magic Dragon". Ooh, that is so going to be the first one I load up! ;)
 
A few things I don't really have much use for including the programming manuals and some of the A4000 bits, so I'd be glad to help them find new homes if anyone is interested? PM me. I can ship UPS and would prefer to ship within the states, international shipping is a hassle.
 
Anyhow, enough of my rambling here's some pics! I spent a couple hours on Saturday organizing everything in my office and cleaning it up, haha.

You can't see everything in these pics, but I don't think I'll ever need to buy another hard drive, CD drive, or floppy drive again. ;)

Got the Cocolino working and combined parts from two of the keyboards to make one really nice white one, sadly "Mike the Magic Dragon" disk is unreadable. LOL, I wonder what it was?
 
These successes combined with finally getting PFS installed (from the thread by Paul1981) make me feel pretty darn good about my Amiga tonight. :D Even the battery backed clock seems like it's decided to start playing ball and keeping time correctly. Now if I could just get my Thylacine working and the other 472 things I have to do done... but maybe I should just give it a rest for tonight. ;)

what problems are you having with the thylacine?

Thanks! Well after a lot of tinkering it's detected and installed fine, and my USB stack is running, but as soon as I plug in any device the machine completely freezes up - it's like it uses 100% CPU power. I've tried with just normal mice and keyboards at this point. Am concerned that it may be an issue with A2000 Buster, since it seems like most of the people who have this card working are using A3000/4000's. When I unplug the USB device I get some limited functionality back, but the system is herky-jerky until I reboot.
 
Recommendation is to try a clean 3.1 install but I haven't had time yet. There's a bit more info here:

I'll get around to it, or sell it off I guess! :idea:
