Hi! Nice pictures, and very strong presence of Plus/4 team there (although half of them were just under "operation", I suppose defective TEDs...). Only one C16 was seen...
The wall of 1551 is just massive shock, when I was a kid, I could get only an 1541/II, although it was a great stuff too, it was so expensive as if it would be from gold (good old Commodore days...).
Anyhow, nice to watch, I really miss the "real" hardware nowadays, although emulation makes things a little faster...

most of the c16/+4 hardware, seen on the pictures, is at my place now. if nobody took it, it would end up in the shredder. so if someone needs something please send me an email. i am busy at the moment, soo don't expect a very fast service..

I also spotted a C 116 in action
Nice photos and the wall of 1551s is impressive. I have never seen so many of them in one place.

Patrick, certainly I would pay all your service an transport cost, but how much the stuff would cost, I mean a (or 2) working +4 with one (or 2) 1551 including basic cables (I think datasett is not required nowadays, although I also have same tpaes...)?
Just the question, how much it worth now? I really do not want them free (I know you invested money into them)
In fact, why you do not put them on ebay, shredder is just too much activity

I would much appreciate getting a couple 1551's from that stash. Someone just shipped my first 1551 to me, but it arrived here with the top case sheared off. I am interested in completing a +4 setup here, one that I can take to shows in the states. As such, I am hoping to get 1 or 2 1551s to stay here, and 1 to travel to shows.
I know it's a bit of work to ship overseas, and I'd be happy to compensate for that as well.
I can optionall compensat with one or more uIEC MMC/SD IEC drive units or some other project I have in my stash, if that is more useful than cash.

today, i tested the 8 1551 drives. most of them give the green light when i give them power. but when i ask for a directory they gave me the message: device not present error. what can be the problem. it is funny that they all do it. soo, please give me some advice so i can send the drives and computers to all who requested and i make my girlfriend happy by getting rid of the s**t. (that is how she called it!!)

if all of them do the same, the problem is the other side (computer) or in between (the cable)
(sorry, I am from quality, can't help, but I had to do some distance analysis now )

Maybe all the drives have the cartridge burn... because it is the more critic component. You can open one cartridge and see if:
1) is present the uP inside;
2) is there any paper label pasted inside (could says: out, burn, works, etc.). They have be sticked by the technics if they open/tested the cartridges.
If all seems untouched, you could try to connect 2 drivers inside the Plus4 port. Turn off one and set the second as device #9 (see manual). After this, turn on the first one too, and type "DIRECTORY U9"
Keep me informed
