Keen to follow how you get on with it! Curious to see the VIC-II and SID in use too.

Loved seeing this at #Retrofest - perfect retro tech for the location too. The Hornby brochure from 1979 was scarily nostalgic too!

Was great meeting you and you've definitely inspired me to dig out an Aquarius and see if we can get it working!

I think the C64C is unjustifiably unloved. The breadbin was the icon (and what I had), but if you want a reliable 64 these days the C64C is a great bet. We recently went through our entire 64 inventory, and every single 64C worked. The one in our PC gallery is used everyday by visiting schools.

I've just recently set a new VIC20 in our PC Gallery with this on at #TNMOC. My first time using a VIC20, a C64 was my first computer. Cool game for the machine and handy for us as it's on cartridge so easy to load to each day. So far seems popular with the visiting schools!

One of the standard C128s wasn't happy and did this on boot - going to need more investigation.

The Commodore 128DCR is very cool - I think this U1 error is normal due to the built in 1571 as both our ones reported this? This one had an intact warranty sticker - couldn't bring myself to break it so carefully heat-gunned it off!
