'Speaking of VIC-20 fans I am one and had the pleasure of using one as my first computer! I can certainly relate to those days of strategizing with multiple cassettes as I modded and typed in games then...
Any fellow VIC'ers out there have the early VIC with the PET-style keys/keyboard? If its dead, motherboard missing and case beat-up thats ok - I'd like to get the keyboard assembly & keys intact...let me know. I can certainly look at trading VIC-stuff too for it if interested.

Hi James,Do you think any of those VIC-20 users are on the 'net? If so, I'd likely try and get my BBS back up and running! I'm going to look for my 5 1/4 floppies tonight - they must be in a box somewhere!Originally, when I started my VIC BBS, it was all off the tape drive, and everything ran in RAM!!! I had a 16K expander card, and I would have to manually save everything back to tape a few times a day, or else if the power blipped, everything was GONE! I was soooooo happy to get a 1541! LOL!Thanks!

There are a bunch of VIC20 users around these days and a few sites specific to VIC20 fans.
