Delta system on eBay

Post by sixxie »

I might really really want one, but this has gone somewhat above my "willing to pay" level. 73 quid! Ouch! Is it any of you? :)

Er, and if it is, can you verify the ROM dump when you get it? ;)

I still wonder if there really are two versions of the ROM - it's been implied one (the one we seem to have available here) did single density and perhaps a later one double.

Heh, I was only interested in the controller and thought my bid for half that seemed a bit high... Ah well.

well i was surprised myself i admit. my comfortable bid was around 65, but i had, ahem... a couple of beers and thought i would ensure success with a bid for 81.
very surprised but the final price.

Perhaps I lucked out on that, picked up an Apple ][ and two drives for nothing a few years back, mind I had to spend about an hour extracting them
from the big bit of lab equipment that they had been semi-perminently installed in, and then about an hour giving them a thorough clean.

But eventually I got them working.

Cheers.

Phill.
