Had to go up to NE Calgary to go to ToysRUs to get a gift for my nephews 1st B/D, so I did a bit of a Thrift Shop run as well. also managed to get a toy for myself at ToysRUs too, they had some Star Wars stuff on clearance, and if you bought 2 clearance items, the cheaper one was 1/2 off, and conveniently the thing I intended to get him was clearanced as well (one of the Care Bears) so that worked out well.

I like this guy's SD2IEC -- they look like little 1541 drives. It's silly, but I also like that he recycles 64 cases to make some of his SD2IEC. Cool use for cracked/broken cases.

I got one of those a few years ago - they are hands down the best looking SD2IECs out there!

Nice buy!

I just ordered 5 ISA XT IDE boards and all the components to build them.

https://www.lo-tech.co.uk/product/lo-tech-isa-compactflash-pcb/


Should be a fun build, I only need one and will prolly sell the other 4 to my mates. Mines going in a Tandy 1000ex so I'll have to build a plus to ISA adaptor which it's pretty easy.

I managed to buy a Commodore SX-64. I had to change the PLA chip and reseat the Kernal chip. Works very well. Drive motor is a little bit noisy but works.

A TRS-80 CoCo 2 wasn't on my "must have" list, but it's nice to add to the collection.

I came to an end in my collecting a year or so ago where I had everything I wanted. so.. what do I do then? Spend more time using them than searching? That's not as much fun. I love treasure hunting. So I went from picking up my "bucket list" to "that looks cool". a dangerous idea.

Getting a bit carried away with the zx spectrums. THe white one has a justspeccy128 board in

the blue one is a new case ( google retro radionics!) but while beautifully made I hated the mottled silver so blue it had to be. A ***** to get close to the faceplate paint colour!
