OK, I won't post it :) but I'd like to know for my own satisfaction.

1454896 2018-10-25 06:18:00 Oh, OK, Tony!!

I was more wondering how I got the absurd money to buy that old expensive, by today's stds, stuff. The first HDD - ouch. The first CD drove - ouch. The first digital Canon 2000 camera - OUCH. It is still sitting on my shelf glaring at me. Etc Etc Etc.

We are pretty spoilt today, for sure.

I remember the first External CD Writer I brought ( NO DVD then) it was an HP a real speed demon 2X :waughh: @ About $1000 Parallel port as well

Similar to this one www.hpmuseum.net But had rounded corners on the case, still got it someplace.

I listed some c64 games on Trade Me, all of them sold. Some went for a good price. Worth a try.
