Still a way to go ..but slowly getting there ..
But basically running out of space ..
lol
What I want to achieve is a working museum I suppose.
So far the PET is fully functional ..but the Apple still has many issues ..
One of my 64s and one of my VICs hooked in ..the VIC of course has it's ARFON expansion unit and psu ..
The C64 has its own floppy ..and SD2IEC ...
The VIC just a floppy ..for now.
The PET has a working dual 8050 floppy...and green screen monitor.
..and so far the only way I can input to the Apple is via ADT to a laptop the other side of the room..via audio cable
I only have 1 monitor with an input switch ..AV or S-Video.
..but this does make it possible to leave up to 4 computers permanently hooked up and waiting to just power on.
Here are some pics ..
Hopefully more to come ..when I get the Plus 4 or the C16 in the system ..
but as I said ..space is the issue now.

Very nice, I sold my Amiga's but I kept my 8 Bit Stuff, C64C with SD2IEC & Fast Loader Cart. Speccy 128k Toast rack and DivIDE (space invader) and Speccy +3 with Zetr0's IDE mod. Love those old machines, can't see me parting with any of them.
 
Oooo... Lovely!

And your C=64 can do Vic-20 and Apple II emulation, Cool! ;)
 
I'm just being silly; a couple of your piccies have got a screen set up in front of your C=64 with Apple II / Vic-20 running on the display.

..thought it was too good to be true...
..but there are some super smart geeks out there ..so never say never..
;)
 
Had a bit of a tidy up in 8 bit corner for Christmas...
Now that I have replaced the LCD with a CRT monitor ..
Plus retrofitted a sub shelf to the bench for one of my Plus 4 computers..
Looking neat now but of course not all the computers can sit directly in front of the monitor ..
Still ..at least all of them can be powered up and switched to display..
Merry Christmas to all ..

Really cool setup! For me the PET is the eye-catcher here. Would love to have one of those some day...

Thanks eteP err Pete ..
Sadly the PET like the new old monitor does have a little phosphor/screen burn ..but was the first of all the 8 bits to be restored ..
I also did the mod to produce single bit sound from the user port..
