Hi Blaine, thanks for setting up the discussion forum. I joined CCUG a couple years ago but have not been able to make a meeting yet. I don’t live anywhere near the meeting spot and have another activity that is unfortunately Tuesday night. I hope to make it to one before summer.
I have been involved in a bit of commodore stuff this winter. Rebuilt a 8250 disk drive for my PET 2001N. The disk drive looked like it was run over by a truck. Only have drive 0 working so far but that was some work.
Last month I bought two 128s and a 64 for $50. The 64 had a bad ram chip but the 128s just needed a cleaning. None of them came with power supplies so I built a couple out of Digikey parts. I also have about 100 disks of software I was given. So far almost all seem to work, so just going through those and transferring what I can to the SD2IEC.
I will be sure to post some pictures in the Members Gallery when I get a chance and keep an eye on the Website to hear what is new.
