 pa> I don't have a TON of retro kit, but I do have a few 386/486 machines -

 pa> going, my fav piece of retro gear/collection is my trusty C=128. I have
 pa> an awesome machine that NUKE [another BBSer] went thru and cleaned up...
 pa> really happy w/ the purchase and I think he still sells C= hardware on
 pa> eBay.
 pa> 
 pa> I installed JiffyDOS ROMs and a switch for turning it on/off... I have an
 pa> SD2EIC which lets me easily play with GBs of C= software... I have
 pa> period-correct joysticks and just all the add-ons that one needs to
 pa> intereact with retro machines - I particularly love dialing in to C=
 pa> BBSes using a WiFi Modem card; and I have this oversized Pelican case
 pa> that holds all the kit perfectly, with documentation on JiffyDos/C=
 pa> commands and... stuff that I forget after not playing w/ the system in a
 pa> few months.
 pa> 
 pa> Its a badass collection, and I can throw the huge pelican case in my
 pa> truck and be up and running at any retro get together in 15 minutes. :P
 pa> Love my C= gear... yes, I'll be going after an Apple ][e at some point
 pa> and have my eyes on a NEW MSX/2 build that is calling my name.
 pa> 
 pa> Thats really neat - I love my PiBoy DMG and also play around w/ RetroPie
 pa> builds, images and software in general. On 2o I've been releasing my
 pa> game saves w/ ROMs for some of my favorites ; its nice to grab a ZIP,
 pa> load the saves and be able to bounce around levels if I want...
 pa> 
 pa> I <3 the Pi for so much retro-emulation. I hope to get into MiSTeRs soon
 pa> - IMO thats the way to go, but like you the versatility of a Pi keeps me
 pa> coming back...

Love it.  I don't have a C128. Kinda want one but they still want a fair amount of $$$ for one.  I wish I kept my old 486sx20 from back in the days.  If even just to use it to dial in to a BBS like the old days. I had an ][c for the longest time but just don't think I remember enought about it to use it any other way than emulation.  Love the Pi IMHO this is the new Commodore!
