My 1.2 GHZ PIII Commodore SX-64 – on the day I threw out 2 C64s. *sob* I still have the 1541 drive so I’ll be moving my collection of 300 5 1/4 floppies onto the PC in the next few weeks and there on to several backup CDs.
Oh yeah, I remember seeing the SX64 in a computer shop here in Cork a few years ago. It is HUGE! I also had reviews of it from way back in the 80s and they weren’t impressed by it’s portability either then.

Lots of stuff getting thrown out today. Inluding many of my old C64 things. That’s a huge collection of Zzap64 mags,. CF mags, ACE’s and more games than you can shake a stick at. I’m keeping my c64 floppys though, I want to copy them onto the PC this week. Owen’s getting the C64+1541 and my A500 too. It’s a sad day 🙁
