I'm a big fan of the Organisers IIs as well. Amazing little pocket computer, which also had OPL.

I’d never even heard of this machine before - just looked it up. Amazing!

I have some vids of mine, on my youtube site

That X68000 is beautiful, both the case and the tech spec. Now I want one! :) Here you go! :? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Sharp-X68000-Xvi-Fully-Loaded-Sega-Capcom-Konami-Fm-Towns-Micomsoft-Dempa-Max/292906712667?_trkparms=aid%3D111001%26algo%3DREC.SEED%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20160908105057%26meid%3D2fcac...

I have an XVI, and a Pro II Desktop. The XVI has a scsi to sd hard drive, midi card. And both have ram upgrade cards.

All my kit is all out and hooked up but I’ve now reached saturation point. Swmbo would kill me if I continued collecting

So much for what I wrote.

An X68000 has just arrived

Welcome to the club! I have two of these myself. Which model did you get?

*shake fist*

Still availble! I don't suppose anyone would like to swap an Amstrad CPC for the lot??

1.30 pm today, I'm gonna be busting through those front work gates like the a-team van!

I have a black metal cub which was used on my QL only.

Making Pod explode

Wow looks great, I love this game!

Oooh a Hakko, for the gentleman solderer about town. Lovely!

Intel get outside

Threads like this always terrify me, great stuff!

American companies and postage has gone all to pot. I used to buy a lot of stuff from the US via ebay, and don't even bother now. Huge sums for postage.

Is this like when my Gran wouldn't let me connect my speccy to the main telly, because it might break the telly?

Best wishes to your mother, and happy you are getting something new about vnula from your magic hat!

Many thanks. She had a heart attack last week but is now home and hopefully over the worst.

Heartfelt best wishes to you!

Hi Marcus

Not for the faint-hearted? You can say that again. I was soldering it on Mother's Day 2011 and Mrs JonB wasn't impressed.

Did she expect her present to be already built by then?

Is anyone working on anything that would replace the turboram addon for the A3010? That was my one big regret with the A3010. I'd saved up enough, and my mam rang Simtek only for them to have just discontinued it, due to lack of quality ram supplies. That bit extra performance would of been great!

Ah that's not a QL, just a normal speccy

We do have users on the QL Forum from Norway, you might be better off joining a few forums, and putting up wanted adverts etc

Ah That is a lot!

It would need to state what it's connected to as well The rapIDE in my RPC was always far more tolerant of stuff than the onboard sockets.

Do you have a kind of gumtree or ebay varient there? I remember a Finnish friend showing me a kind of ebay they had, which I was looking at Lada Nivas on

I reckon for £90 you could get something way more interesting.

Thanks all. The Dragon seems to be a "collector item" only then, so £90 might be too much. I'll give the CPC 464 a bit of thought, because if I have to import from the UK, there will be Postage + VAT + VAT clearing charge in addition. I'm guessing the extras will add another £50 or more to the cost...

I had a few that were under 512mb, but I'm sure I tried multiple partitions too. You had to be careful of using cf to ide adapters with double sockets etc.

Really old thread about it is here:

The amstrad (spit spit) Way more and better games

But how about a QL?

I used a CF card on my HCCS with no problems.

Ooooh, that might be a good option for my pc-fx.
