Couple of things acquired in the last few days:
I found this nice Iomega ZIP100 USB drive for literally pocket change from a recycling center. I have a couple of disks that I haven't been able to use as my current ZIP drive is parallel.

An Arduino starter kit containing all kinds of cool stuff. There's a couple of projects I have in mind, where I could try it.

I got extremely lucky and managed to pick up this beauty for the incredible price of a couple of beers:

(My first AGA machine <3)
I've not been able to do much with it (waiting for the 3.5" PATA to CF adapter to arrive in the mail tomorrow-ish), but I'm in love.
Appears to have a standard C= 040 card, 2MB chip and 16MB fast (although I think more RAM is plugged in, as all slots are filled and 2 modules are marked "8MB").
There's an old X-surf card in there (no idea which model, it's from 1999 though), and some videocard that seems to not really do much more than provide S-video and composite (alongside standard amiga RGB).
Also included with it were a crate full of floppies (must be hundreds of 'em), a ton of old Amiga magazines, CD-ROMs, bunch of assorted cables, an "Emulator 2000" PC emulator card (8088) and this interesting contraption:

I'm pretty sure this is supposed to work as an external HD-FDD for the A4000 (that's what the cable is for anyway), but so far all it does is show up as DF2:????, even if no disk is inserted, so who knows if it works or not.
I hope to be able to upgrade it in various ways over time. Especially a 060 would be nice, but considering the prices they usually go for, I doubt I'll ever own one in my lifetime.
EDIT: here's a shot of the bin with floppies as well:

Six Thomson & some hard- and software.

I have a DivIDE with no case. I love all these different solutions but a case just adds to the overall product imho. This new DivMMC seems too tempting to pass up and I am currently hovering over the buy button.Quote:
Hmm, I have a DivIDE Plus for my speccy, which I love, but it's so big. I wonder differences there are between it and your MMC?
I've a DivIDE 2K11. All the advantages but takes up much less space :) I'd highly recommend it.

That is A LOT of Floppies :wooha:Quote:
