I just grabbed one of eBay too.  I used to have one back when they first came out (and a Vic20 & C64) and fancied getting back into the 8 bit thing.

I'm waiting for a cable to turn up which will allow me to connect my 1571 floppy drive to one of my PCs and then write C64 disk imaged back to real floppy disks to use on the C128.

Interesting to read above that the Amiga 1084S monitor allows 80 column mode on the 128, I have my orginal Amiga 1081 monitor so I wonder if that would work with the correct cable.  Mind you, my 1081 is from the UK and my C128 is a USA NTSC model...

I've already preordered a Retro Replay MMC catridge.  It certainly looks like the best solution even if it's a more expensive option.
