Just wanted to get some feedback on the purchase and some stuff I should do with it (ie, hardware addons, etc.  Also, is it possible to add a hard drive to those little beasts  :lol: )  
Thanks  :-)


Not a bad score.

Mate of mine gave me a 128D last year, since he had no time to play with it anymore. It wasn't in a box, and could hardly be called in 'new' condition (he was/is something of a hardware hacker like myself  :-D ).

I did get a schmidt load of manuals/disks/schematics with it if you should need something in particular? (Since I suspect I am not too far from you).

Best thing about the 128 (apart from the C64 compatibilty mode) in my opinion is the disk controller. It will read almost 5 1/4 disk you can throw at it, with the right software.

Cheers,
Red
