5. C128D

6. 1541 DD
$20

7. 1571 DD

My quick estimates, all assuming unboxed, working items.

..I can also sell you any of those items except the 128, 128D and the REU!

your missing C128DCR (different to the 128D and imo the best of the 128's). I would not bother with any of the drives or REU's (REU's are rare and expensive), get a 1541 ultimate ii, its an reu and SD card reading 100% compatibile drive in a cartridge. best thing I ever got

plus get some jiffydos roms from jim brain

Thanks, I skipped the low cost C128. No real reason, I guess I was being quick about the post.

The DCR is about all you'll find in the US, I'm pretty sure all actual 128D's (plastic case w/handle) are PAL.

..not that you couldn't switch the motherboards, of course.

Tone's estimates are reasonable ballpark, though a ton depends on condition. REU (1750) is the wild card, they can go dirt cheap and at times they can go well north of $100.

I would have a C128DCR (64kb vdc, bugfixed roms) and an original flat 128 (16kb vdc, old roms), good for testing.

I am looking to research building an REU. I have a logic analyzer. It is not a pro unit but it should be good for this. I got alot on my mind I would like to do. Most have already been done. It still sounds like fun though.
Sincerely.

I have an extra C128D (CR of course). I'm not certain that the drive works properly, so I'd have to test it.

I am interested in new, used, working or not.
It will take a while for me to buy all the stuff I want.

I'd take a metal case over a plastic case any day of the week, so DCR for me. Well, at least before going in a tower
