1. The holy trinity on the right!

2. I’ve got 2 of them :o)

3. Mine busted and i ripped it to bits to see what it looked like inside. If you’d like a scan of the plastic substrate with the keymap on it from a 6128 I can scan it in and send it to you

4. An Internet search for GX4000 could be tricky. Unless you want a hockey stick:

   Then again, I tell a lie, in amongst the GX4000 composite hockey sticks is this:

   (and a few cartridges there as well. I looked on G+ shopping but it looks like most of them are on ebay so might be good to search there – or even try fatfingers in case someone doesn’t know how to spell GX4000)

   THEN you have to track down a 6128 plus.

   I have a question though. I don’t want to go the full hog and start collecting 8 bit computers but are there any companies out there who sell normal tape drives/ 3 inch floppy drives / 8 inch and 5 1/4 inch floppy drives? It’d be nice to use emulators with original source software, or buy old games from junk shops and rip the disks to image.

5. Oops. You already have the Plus

   1. Yeah – and the both work beautifully too!

6. I loved my CPC464. I still have the monitor and an MP3 (as in the TV tuner, not music player) in the loft. I used the monitor for years after I’d retired the 464 with my Amiga 500+, then with a PS1 via the TV tuner. Because the tuner is analogue (literally – has a dial) it’s bloody good for using with retro 8bit computers. Digital tuners pretty much suck.

7. Yeahhhhh that’s the stuff.

   Oh wait, where’s the GX?

   1. I don’t have one…. yet….
