|  Re: Rare Commodore SFD1001 disk drive
In the past I've also planned to make an interface for the plus/4. Just to satisfy my curiosity. 
But unfortunately all my IEEE-488 drives (2 SFD-1001 and a 8250LP) are faulty. The 8250LP was advertised as a working one with interface for the C64 but both was dead.  One of the SFD's was faulty when I bought it but the other one worked. They were really cheap from my friends garage. A few years ago I tried to power up them but all of them are dead now with the same symptom: the LED error codes indicate a faulty (and unfindable) RIOT.
As for the CBM 720: there were some PET's and CBM B series computers on Vatera last year but they were fairly expensive. This guy won't part from his one as he says in the advert that he sells the SFD because of a recently acquired 8250.
