So, how many of these are you going to build and when are you putting them on eBay?   ;-)   :-D

Expansion port extension cable is complete.

If I never have to do that again, it will still be too soon  :angry: Tomorrow I start fabricating the mounting brackets for the SuperCPU 128 and RamLink.

Strewth!  Now that's what I call a DIY project!

My brother sent me some packages from the UK.  I just unpacked one and found this inside:

There's no manual or anything (apparently he found it at a jumble sale).  DOes anyone know much about the Currah Speech 64?  Most of what I've found online refers to the ZX Spectrum version.

As this seems to be the most active C128 thread (and because Redrumloa actually sells these things), I've noticed that a lot of people on other forums are having trouble getting their MMC64Replay cartridges to run *.T64 tape images using the v0.07 T64PLGIN plugin (it freezes when attempting run run an image).  I managed to track down an earlier one v0.04 (BIN only) and it works fine!

Also, I had hell mounting D64 images as virtual drives when setting the defaults 12/13 and a real 1571 FDD attached as device 8.  Once I hardware changed the 1571 to device 10 then the problem went away and virtual disks mounted fine.
