Saw this on fleabay and thought y'all would get a chuckle out of it.

Well, i did pay more than that for my dual MSD drive for my C= 64

That would be a bit more understandable IMHO, since those were a bit rare (relatively speaking) even back in the days, and it has some special features, so it could more easily be seen as some collectible...

Oh i mean when it was new. I don't know what became of it...

Ah, OK...

As for the Supra drive, i'll have to charge up my ipad to find out (for the Amiga World, A+, etc PDFs) but i don't recall them ever going that high even new. I seem to think maybe $150 or so...

I still have an old Supra external 28.8 fax modem. Its software flashed up to 33 or 57 or something like that... I think its the same company maybe I can get $250 for it...

Iirc I paid $550.00 for mine brand new + $50.00 for the extra ram chip to turn it into an ultra high speed commercial copier.  18 seconds to copy 1 side of a disk with full verify.  I was in heaven. :knuddel:

Actually, lied, my dad bought the MSD drive (but i did have the receipt) , and he gave it to me when he moved on to IBM clones.... I was way to young at the time to come up with that kind of scratch mowing lawns

It was an awesome drive as long as you ran cracked software. I even had the IEEE interface which made it even less compatible
