Valentine: Yes, I'm near Kassel and Puttabong near Göttingen. Small world

I've got a friend who does a lot with Spectrum stuff. He has a lot of them, with special disk drives and even clones from the GDR. His favorite is one of the rare Sam Coupe computers he owns, he also has a CompactFlash interface and whatever for this thing. Unfortunately the leader of the Spectum and Sam Club in Germany had a apoplexy (Schlaganfall). That's really bad

Andy: Yes, at the former times SCSI was better than IDE, also because you could connect 7 devices to one port. But in the actual times SATA is a great solution. No huge flat cables anmore, looks crappy in my A4000T, and to get a round SCSI cable is nearly impossible. My two CMD harddrives for the C64 are SCSI too. I'm using 230MB MO drives instead of a harddisk, they're quieter, have the same speed and 230MB are really a lot for the C64.

BTW guys, please reduce the use of quotes - otherwise the threads are getting too long. And Andy, Superhai is now here, too.
