CMD is on the Net, someone shoul= d be able to list their Web address here... I have two CMD HD's, a 1.28Gig on the BBS, and my personal 200Meg. I LOV= E my CMD HD, and have had no problems with them worth mentioning... The on= e on the BBS has been running continuously for several years (although, it started as a 20Meg, upgraded by CMD to a 40Meg, then upgraded by me to a 200Meg, then by me to a 1.28Gig) The CMD HD is more compatible with a larger amount of Commodore software than any other HD, and is ideal for running a BBS, or just keeping your own personal software on it. Just a note to those seeking to purchase one: get as large a HD as you can afford! Don't make the natural assumption that you'll 'Never fill up a 40Meg'... our User Group purchased 6 40Meg HD's, and to my knowledge, two of them have already been upgraded to larger drives, and several others probably wish they had purchased larger drives! Don't bother trying to find one used (I've only seen/heard of 2 CMD HD's for sale!), even if you can find one for sale, their basically worth just about what they cost new! No-one that has one is willing to sell it! P.S. I'm NOT connected in any way with CMD, just a satisfied customer! #! rnews 1335 Path: pravda.aa.msen.com!spool.mu.edu!munnari.OZ.AU!harbinger.cc.monash.e= du.au!nntp.coast.net!news-res.gsl.net!news.gsl.net!news.mathworks.com!new= sfeed.internetmci.com!in2.uu.net!nntp.crl.com!crl9.crl.com!not-for-mail From: ceejack@crl.com (Jack Vander White) Newsgroups: comp.sys.cbm Subject: Re: C16 & Plus/4 <---- Remember these Date: 16 Jul 1996 00:34:50 -0700 Organization: Humanity Against Late-Night Infomercials Lines: 24 Message-ID: <4sfgmq$crb@crl9.crl.com> References: <31EA29FB.6799@cbl.leeds= .ac.uk> NNTP-Posting-Host: crl9.crl.com X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL2] glen varley (glen@cbl.leeds.ac.uk) wrote: : I've recently acquired a c-16 for =A35 and have started collecting game= s=20 : for it...does anyone know if theres a games list anywhere? : I was tempted to buy a plus 4 but i believe that while plus 4 software : will work on a c-16, the reverse is not true...so is there any point in : owning one?

The format will be a public auction. Send all bids to me in electronic mail to hermit@bayview.com. I will try to set up a WWW interface to submit bids and check on the current highest bid, but for now stick to e-mail. I will post progress reports approximately every week to report the current bidding status. RULES OF THE AUCTION - SUGGESTED BID IS *NOT* A MINIMUM BID; I will accept the highest bid over that amount, or if all bids are below it, I *may* choose to accept the highest bid. If you think my prices are too high; bid anyway, and you might just get it after all. However there is a MINIMUM PURCHASE OF $10, just to make it worth my time to package and mail. - Bidding runs UNTIL ALL ITEMS ARE SOLD, OR AUGUST 1ST, 1996, whichever is soonest. I may elect to extend the bidding period, add or remove items available, and/or change suggested bids after that date. - YOU WILL PAY ALL SHIPPING COSTS. Shipping cost depends on method of shipment, weight of what you buy, and your location. If you live in or near the San Francisco or Monterey bay areas in California (I live in Santa Cruz), we may be able to meet in person to transfer the goods. Send me email if you have any questions about shipping. - Unless otherwise indicated, all equipment has been tested and is in GOOD WORKING ORDER. Exceptions to this are noted in parentheses. The 1571 and 1541's have all been aligned by me, but understand that shipping could misalign them, so check them when you receive them. If you don't know how, ask me. - Except for problems noted in parentheses below, all items have a THIRTY DAY WARRANTY. If anything does not work to your satisfaction for ANY REASON within 30 days of your receipt of the item(s), send it back to me for a FULL REFUND. *NOTE* Refunds will NOT be given on shipping costs in either direction! ############################## HARDWARE ################################ COMPUTERS SuggBid Qty Mfr Model Description ------- --- --- ----- ----------- $25.00 1 CBM 64 Commodore 64 w/ P/S (keyboard needs cleaning) $35.00 1 CBM 128 Commodore 128 w/ P/S (F3 & F5 missing) $40.00 1 CBM 128 Commodore 128 w/ P/S $15.00 1 CBM Plus/4 Commodore Plus/4 Computer in box, with manuals and P/S $20.00 1 CBM 8032 80 col, 32k CBM/PET computer (E key missing) FLOPPY DISK DRIVES SuggBid Qty Mfr Model Description ------- --- --- ----- ----------- $30.00 4 CBM 1541 Single Drive Floppy Disk 5.25" $40.00 1 CBM 1571 Double-sided 5.25" Floppy Disk Drive $20.00 1 FSD FSD-1 Mostly 1541-compatible disk drive $10.00 1 CBM 8040 Dual PET floppy disk drive, 512k each disk (one side broken) $10.00 1 CBM 8240 Dual PET floppy disk drive, 1MB each disk (broken) $5.00 1 CBM IEEE-488 Cable, PET to drive $3.00 1 CBM IEEE-488 Cable, drive to drive $2.00 1 HP IEEE-488 Cable, drive to drive PRINTERS SuggBid Qty Mfr Model Description ------- --- --- ----- ----------- $20.00 1 Oki 10 Okimate 10 thermal color printer with Black ribbon & Commodore "Plug 'N' Print" cartridge, in box $5.00 1 Oki 10 Okimate 10 thermal color printer, no ribbon or "Plub 'N' Print" cartridge $30.00 1 Seikosha SP180VC 9-pin Commodore-ready printer; good cond., nice NLQ mode $5.00 1 CBM MPS803 7-pin Commodore printer ######################### VIC-20 CARTRIDGES ############################ Commodore VIC-1xxx cartridges SuggBid Qty Model Name ------- --- ----- ---- $7.50 1 VIC-1211A Super Expander w/ 3K RAM $5.00 1 VIC-1212 Programmer's Aid Cartridge $2.50 1 VIC-1909 Road Race $2.50 1 VIC-1910 Radar Ratrace $2.50 1 VIC-1911 The Sky is Falling $2.50 1 VIC-1914 Adventure Land (Scott Adams) $2.50 1 VIC-1915 Pirate's Cove (Scott Adams) $2.50 1 VIC-1918 Voodoo Castle (Scott Adams) $2.50 1 VIC-1919 Sargon II Chess (w/ Manual) $2.50 1 VIC-1920 Pin Ball $2.50 1 VIC-1921 Super Smash $2.50 1 VIC-1922 Cosmic Cruncher $2.50 1 VIC-1923 Gorf $2.50 2 VIC-1924 Omega Race $2.50 1 VIC-1937 Sea Wolf $2.50 1 VIC-1938 Tooth Invaders $2.50 1 VIC-1941 Number Nabber / Shape Gobbler NOTE: I have the manual that covers all five Scott Adams games, but only three of the games.

I have the following Commodore 64/128/Vic-20 software, hardware, and accessories for sale or trade. There are a few items that are listed as untested. When I bought these items I was told that they all worked, but due to a lack of time, I have been unable to test them myself. SALE CONDITIONS: 1) Sales are first come, first served. For faster service, please include your full postal mailing address in your reply. 2) Everything is sold as is. Unless specified, all games and systems have been tested and are in working order. I very rarely sell items that aren't working, but if I do, they are clearly labeled as such. 3) Trade offers, in particular for items that I need, will be given priority (especially if the trade offer overwhelms me). I collect for over 40 different systems, so please feel free to send me a trade list. Ask for my want lists! 4) Buyer has ten (10) days to send payment, and pays all shipping costs. Shipping cost depends on both the weight of the order and the distance that the order must travel, unless a set amount is already listed. No orders will be sent C.O.D. 5) No package deals on games or systems. All prices are clearly listed. 6) If you have a problem with the listed price, please remember that nobody is forcing you to buy from me. My personal philosophy is that something is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it. 7) Payment must be made in U.S. funds, by either check or money order, drawn from a U.S. bank branch. Orders from outside the U.S. are also accepted. 8) I reserve the right to refuse any sale or trade offer, and to correct mistakes made while typing this message. SOFTWARE: NOTE: If the company name isn't listed, then the game was released by the same company as the system. NOTE: All cartridges are loose (ie. without box and manual), unless specified.

Well, it think it's a defective ram-chip (Bit 2 =3D U22) It may also be one of the adress-bus multiplexers or something else but if the listed adresses are the only faulty ones a faulty ram's most probable. > 66482 Zweibr"ucken / Germany If that doesn't help (or you have a spare 1541 ;) ) email or call me (18.00 - 00.00) Jens --=20 Jens Ellerbrock * Holtenauer Str 162 * 24105 Kiel * pluton@hades.cl= s.de "BELIEVE AND DECEIVE" ><> * Tel: 0431 / 806890 * Modem/x75: 0431 / 8= 4749 -------------------------------------------------------------------------= ---- Tired and bored of your operating system ?
