Magnavox CM8562. It's essentially the 1084 without the Commie overprint. They are
great for having around for vcr and camcorder testing and alignment as well. I
have an 8562 with cbales and manual but I also have a 1084 that I need to recreate
the power supply PC board (it's cracked big time) and I need a copy of the manual
for the 1084 if someone has one they could photocopy for reimbursment of copy and
postage.

Anyone have a 3.5" drive and later CP/M they want to sell or trade? I have both a
128 and 128D (<- like this better) and could really use one. I have a bunch of
3.5" floppies from an old Epson PX that I'd love to get back into.

The "GO 64" reference was to tell him that he could run the 64 programs on the
machine.
