Yeah, I have a C128 too, havn't used in an age and it recently had an accident, so needs a new case and keyboard :-(

I prefer Amigas (used to just have the C128 just for games, though I did used to use Geos 1.1 with a joystick rather than a mouse), but the C-1 has sparked my interest, especially with the ability to work as an Amstrad, too ... shame it's still a good way off.  Now there's a geek toy if ever there was :-D

The X1541 allows a PC serial (edit: sorry, it's parallel!) port to emulate a 1541 disk drive, anything with Windows9x should run it fine (requires running in DOS mode for timing reasons) - you just point it at disk images on the PC harddisk.

As for the Vic20 - Rock Man and Chariot Race were great fun :-) I also had a Space Invaders cart for it once, too ... those were the days!
