Sorry, Mark, I already have one, to which I just added a Sidecar. I think I
have now enough stuff to make a full-blown Amiga 1000 system with period
components. Give me his email addy and I'll ask $15,000 and see what he
thinks!!!! I'll need to get some pics taken when I dig it out of the
closet.

What ever happened to caveat emptor? Is it now caveat vendum?
