This is exactly the thing I would love to avoid. Not that its a huge deal, as
you say, but having that insight so as to get the right pieces/parts the
first time around. My C128 sits, in the box, just as it was the day a friend
of mine bought it - very stock (and, fortunately, still in very good
condition). 

My other issue is that I can emulate the thing in hardware (FPGA), so that
kinda makes it difficult to pull the hardware out which takes so much real
estate by the time I get out the monitor, cpu, disk drives and power brick.
Having newer disk tech certainly helps here. Are there any decent/easy mods
for video: VGA/ HDMI? Not having to get another monitor (let alone CRT) out,
will help some as well... 

cheers!
