I'm interested in it (but not the magazines, or the 1942). DHL exists as a courier in Norway right? I could forward funds to cover your packing costs, DHL could come pick it up and send it as a partial pallet to me in Canada (I can probably take care of the paperwork for you as well and send you the proper forms to include with the shipment for Canada Customs etc.). I'm just trying to figure out a fair price for the both of us once I have a good idea on the weight and I manage to track down a freight forwarder in Norway.

On a final note, do all of these units function properly?

Thanks!

I have one of those here as well.

It means it's an FB-357A high density drive which goes 1/5th of the way into the lower floppy bay (it's the same hieght as a 2000 floppy, except it's white to match the 4000). I think it's the exact same drive mechanism as a high density drive for an A3000T, except it has a different eject button and a bezel attached. Commodore also made drive covers (bezels) for the bottom bay of the 4000 case in both regular and 2/3 height to accomodate that.

When you have one of these drives (which have a much lower failure rate btw) you don't get to have two floppy drives, although what a person needs two for I never knew... even though I always had two in my Amigas.  :-D
