602577 2007-10-18 00:16:00 Ooh wow, I havn't seen one of those for a while. Will have a dig around and see if I have one, I seem to remember salvaging one a few years back. Piece of history, those. wratterus (105)

602579 2007-10-18 00:30:00 Have a spare one here. I haven't tested it to see if it will go but can do.

Only thing is you need an old computer to use it. A few months back I wanted to get some stuff off old disks. Also had to unearth an old 386 as none of the later computers had the connections for it.

602581 2007-10-18 01:02:00 I've got an IDE card for both of mine..I had one running on my SOYO/AthlonXP when I had a C>64 emulator running Forbidden Forest and Gyruss and Sno-Cat on my SOYO MOBO. .

There are a lot of places where you can find these cards..but try locally first...I really don't want to get rid of them..if I don't have to. This Commodore stuff is getting harder to find every minute.
