My latest purchase

[Darklight]

Hey all, just wanted to get some info on my latest purchase.  A friend of the family stopped by about an hour ago and said he had a Commodore 128 he had been given to sell, which he wanted $10 AUD for (about $5 US).  So, I immediately went over, and found a near-mint condition Commodore 128D, still in box, with all attachments, genuine Commodore tape drive, a bunch of boxed games, manuals, everything in its original packaging and near-mint.  As you would assume, I took it and it's all sitting on my living room table.  
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  :-)

Thanks for the replies, all.

@ RedSkullDC

Thanks for the offer.  I don't know of anything I need right now, but I might need it soon.  I'm trying to get used to the thing first, lol.  It's so different from the Amiga, and I never used our C64 enough before we sold it to get an A500.  I'm out west, about 15 minutes from Penrith, so by the same token, if you're after anything for your Amigas, I might have it.

@ SamuraiCrow

Thanks for the advice.  I'll see whether I can track down a battery-backed ram expansion or not.  Also, that CMD FD sounds good as well    :-)

One more question - how do I write stuff to disk?  Can I hook it up to my PC or Amiga using a serial cable or something similar and use a transfer program, like on the miggy?

Thanks for the info.  I was mainly interested in backing the disks up because there's quite a few originals there.  It didn't come with an external FD, just the Datasette.  So I'll keep an eye out for an external drive for it.  Thanks for that  :-)
