Bring it anyway! I'll have a TV with a Tuner to go along with my COCO 1.
Thanks! It might not work, as the PAL tuner has been bypassed.
Coco … 6809E represent! There was a UK version called a Dragon 32 that
some of my friends got into. I had more friends with Dragons than C64s,
so maybe I hung with a weird crowd.
It would be lovely if someone could find one of the East York School's
Acorn BBC Bs. Very unusual to see these in Canada.
I'll also be bringing an SX64 — *not* to sell, apologies to my
near-namesake — but to ask about disks. It doesn't seem to do them very
well. It'll format, write, but as soon as you eject, never read 'em
again. Never did much use 5¼" drives, only 8", 3" [yes, they were a
thing] and 3½" ones.
I'll skip bringing the Zeta 2 CP/M machine I built last year. It was a
fun build:
