@Redrum:

Can you give us more details?  IIRC you already mentioned these are NTSC A500s and C64's.  Can you tell us what type of A500s these are? (eg KS 1.3? 2.04?) how much chip and fastRAM?

I'm sorely tempted to get one of those C64c's off you - you wouldn't happen to know someplace to get 5.25" floppies, would you?

Yes, I just did a quick google search and was surprised at how easy it was to find DD disks these days.

@redrum: you've got mail!  :-D

The KS version should not be a problem, one can always get a new kickstart from softhut etc... I'm more interested in one of the C64s (the A500 is just too similar to my A1200, the miser in me wouldn't stop complaining...), but if I were to buy an A500 I'd most probably fit it with a kickstart switcher, to have the least compatibility problems.

Watch out though, opening your A500 will void your warranty...  :-P
