I understand man, I understand - the KIM-1 would be super fun to dig into... I do try to get each of my systems working and 'useful' before going to another, but it doesn't always happen...

My IIe is complete and working, but fully vintage; 4 5.25" drives, 2 3.5" drives - but I never got a 'current' solution like the Big Mess o Wires SDCard floppy emulator... floppies are so hard to come by that its almost a requirement.

Yes yes, I've visited CBBS before - and so should everyone else interested in retro computing. However, you did remind me to call in TODAY. :P
